Spectators: 9192 (Terracing: 6895, Seating: 2114, VIP seats: 183) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Lee Massey started the match with the kick off. Jay Duff hit a great freekick 9 minutes into the match. Eric Buchan recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 13th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. If Lee Massey had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 16th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 21st minute Wayne Pollard shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Patrick McLennan saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

When Keith McNie got free in front of the goal in the 47th minute he wasn't very focused and chipped the ball just over the goal. Patrick McLennan was delighted since he was out of position and the ball would have got in if it had gone under the crossbar. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-1 lead.

The wind increased when Wayne Pollard made the kick off in the second half. Freddie Vennerberg kicked well hit freekick during the 52nd minute of the match.
