Spectators: 6732 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1732, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Hobert Blanco made the kick off which started today's match. After 2 played minutes Bathurst FC got a freekick which was hit by Wesley Lay. Hobert Blanco was extremely unlucky when he, in the 10th minute, took a shot that hit the right post and went out. If Guy McGrath had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 12th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When Randell Conner came up free with the goalie in the 18th minute, the Bathurst FC fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Randell Conner couldn't finish the play. In the 27th minute Guy McGrath shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Les Briggs saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Bathurst FC's Randell Conner in the 29th minute got a chance for a shot 29th didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Rexdale AFC's goalie prevented a goal. If Olin Frazier had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 31st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Russell Holmes sent away a hard shot on goal in the 33rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Hobert Blanco struck a weak shot in the 39th minute. Martin Irwin didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Rexdale AFC. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 1-0.

Guy McGrath fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 53rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Les Briggs having to interfere. Olin Frazier kicked well hit freekick during the 63rd minute of the match. Clay Bauer hit a great freekick 67 minutes into the match. After having played for 70 minutes, Russell Holmes managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Rexdale AFC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Russell Holmes was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Guy McGrath fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 74th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Les Briggs having to interfere. In the 76th minute Hobert Blanco shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Martin Irwin saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 77th match minute, Bathurst FC was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Olin Frazier to maneuver through the defense. Guy McGrath received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 79th minute. Les Briggs tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Randell Conner received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 89th minute. Les Briggs tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Les Briggs took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Guy McGrath, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Rexdale AFC's fans were exulted and cheered after their team won in a match that could easily have gone the other way.
