Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Trev Bilham got the match started through his kick off. After a rather tough play, Little Harrowden's Kirk Burrows got a free kick in the 2nd minute. Seth Mumford sent away a hard shot on goal in the 9th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Ben Barr showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from David Rowling in the 11th minute of the match. Fred Orchard received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 19th minute. Neil Hurst tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When the match had gone on for 21 minutes, Trev Bilham put it in 0-1 from a short distance just to the right of Neil Hurst. When Tyler Burns fell near the penalty area in the 24th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Tottenham Hotspurs's protests and gave Tyler Burns a yellow card for diving instead. Tyler Burns hit a great freekick 24 minutes into the match. After 30 minutes of play, Tottenham Hotspurs's Seth Mumford made it 1-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Ben Barr was left in no man's land by his defense there! In the 40th minute David Rowling shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ben Barr saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when David Rowling stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. David Rowling received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 52nd minute. Ben Barr tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Trev Bilham sent away a hard shot on goal in the 55th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 69 minutes, Sol Hurdle mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Tottenham Hotspurs and the Little Harrowden players grew even worse after the yellow card. Fred Orchard came free with the goalkeeper in the 71st minute of the match, and shot straight on target. The shot was a little too simple and Neil Hurst could save by the left post. Fred Orchard recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 73rd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After a defensive mix-up in Little Harrowden's zone, Seth Mumford stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Ben Barr came out of the goal and Seth Mumford tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. 87 minutes into the match, Little Harrowden's goal looked a bit too open when Seth Mumford came free, but Ben Barr reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Ben Barr took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Seth Mumford, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. David Rowling struck a weak shot in the 92nd minute. Ben Barr didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Tottenham Hotspurs.
