Hailsham Stadium
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Bhagatveer Dias took the kick off in the first half of the match. In a very dangerous position, a player in Hailsham fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 5th minute. Penalty! In the 10th minute Prempal Turkar shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Anujay Mahalingappa saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Devasoma Sihota, 14 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. Bhupala Holkar showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Bhagatveer Dias, who was totally free with the ball in the 15th minute.

In the 38th minute the ball was on its way in behind Hailsham's goalkeeper Bhupala Holkar, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. If Adilaksmana Rahul had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 40th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Bhupala Holkar took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Bhagatveer Dias, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Bhagatveer Dias struck a weak shot in the 47th minute. Bhupala Holkar didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Ramsgate City.
