Spectators: 6735 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1735, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Georges Metcalf started the match with the kick off. 4 minutes into the match, Montcerf AFC's goal looked a bit too open when Germain Marseau came free, but Aurelio Charlebois reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. In the 8th minute Ali Sears shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Aurelio Charlebois saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

When Rudolph Metzger fell near the penalty area in the 33rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Oromocto's protests and gave Rudolph Metzger a yellow card for diving instead. After having played for 34 minutes, Reginald McNair managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Montcerf AFC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Reginald McNair was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. When Reginald McNair came up free with the goalie in the 39th minute, the Montcerf AFC 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 Reginald McNair couldn't finish the play.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Ali Sears to make the kick off.
