The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. When Dominic Davison came up free with the goalie in the 7th minute, the Norbury 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 Dominic Davison couldn't finish the play. Marc Featherstone took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Jo Deighton, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 22 minutes into the game, Norbury's Dominic Davison nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Marc Featherstone made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 1-0.

In the 37th minute, Giles Seward ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Lucas Fleetham was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-1. Vince Hurdle hit a great freekick 44 minutes into the match. The fans had the chance to grab some refreshments as the whistle went for half-time. The score stood at 1-1 after a close first half.
