St1tchCorp's goalkeeper couldn't reach when Olly Morley 15 minutes into the game got a good kick on the ball which found its way into goal just inside left pole. 1-1. After a defensive mix-up in St1tchCorp's zone, Marek Hampshire stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat.

After some fancy dribbling in the 34th minute, Jon Bowden managed to get in a good position for a shot. St1tchCorp's supporters rose to their feet, but Jon Bowden was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post.

The first half was very even, with the score at 1-1 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.
