Conn MaCollin took the ball and in the 7 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Tipper MaCollin. Tipper MaCollin dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-1. 10 minutes into the match, Island AFC's goal looked a bit too open when Conn MaCollin came free, but Tipper MaCollin reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
