Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Andrew Nottingham started the match with the kick off. After 11 minutes, Rich Bostock mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Dunston and the Manchester Dream players grew even worse after the yellow card. After 11 played minutes Dunston got a freekick which was hit by Rich Bostock. Blair Moyse received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 12th minute. Stephen Rashleigh tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 16th minute, Gwyn Spann got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. If Tristan Forbes had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 18th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Andrew Nottingham received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 28th minute.

He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Manchester Dream reached it. Manchester Dream's Kristopher Dalby played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Andrew Nottingham in the 93rd minute of play.
