Spectators: 6959 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1959, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Roaring Guiseppi-Elie made the kick off which started today's match. An unexpectedly hard shot by Roaring Guiseppi-Elie in the 3rd minute of play forced Kernahan's goalkeeper Philmore McFarlane to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Krishna Lara took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 5th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Philmore McFarlane. Kernahan's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. With a little luck, Hardbargin's Julius Jones got control of the ball when Darren Eve tried to sneak it across the goal line. A collision led to Hardbargin getting a freekick after 7 minutes play. Ralph Taitt hit a great ball. 10 minutes into the game, Beryl Swaratsingh was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Kernahan's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Hardbargin the free kick. In the 9th minute, one of Kernahan:s players had the ball in front of the goal but got pushed and fell. The referee felt it was an obvious case and blew a penalty for Kernahan. Ian Simmons received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 14th minute. Julius Jones tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 15th minute, Edgar Byron hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. If Roaring Guiseppi-Elie had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 24th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Craig Andrews took the ball and in the 26 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Philmore McFarlane. Philmore McFarlane dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-2. In the 37th match minute, Hardbargin was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Dwayne Manning to maneuver through the defense. Philmore McFarlane took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Roaring Guiseppi-Elie, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Darren Eve struck a weak shot in the 48th minute. Julius Jones didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Kernahan.

Roaring Guiseppi-Elie received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 52nd minute. Philmore McFarlane tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After some fancy dribbling in the 55th minute, Craig Andrews managed to get in a good position for a shot. Hardbargin's supporters rose to their feet, but Craig Andrews was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Philmore McFarlane breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. The audience was convinced that Roaring Guiseppi-Elie's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Philmore McFarlane was relentless in the 60th minute of the game. In the 68th minute Ian Simmons shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Julius Jones saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 69th minute Darren Eve shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Julius Jones saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. After a defensive mix-up in Hardbargin's zone, Ian Simmons stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Julius Jones came out of the goal and Ian Simmons tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Krishna Lara shot from long distance in the 74th minute, but Philmore McFarlane was prepared and stopped the ball at the left post. A collision led to Hardbargin getting a freekick after 82 minutes play. Shurwayne Tanker hit a great ball. Philmore McFarlane was a little too slow when Roaring Guiseppi-Elie got a fine hit on the ball which went right into the goal in the 85th minute. The score was now 0-4. In the 90th minute the ball was on its way in behind Hardbargin's goalkeeper Julius Jones, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Ralph Taitt charged in rather forcefully in the 92nd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Ralph Taitt the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 92nd minute, Ralph Taitt hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. When the final whistle was heard the away supporters stood up and showed their joy. Hardbargin had managed to secure a win in what was a close match throughout.
