Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Clay Weir made the kick off which started today's match. 3 minutes into the game, Clay Weir recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Andre Kimbrough. Clay Weir showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 1-0. An unexpectedly hard shot by Rex Bynum in the 8th minute of play forced CROW RAVEN's goalkeeper Scot Stephenson to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 9 minutes into the match, CROW RAVEN's goal looked a bit too open when Rex Bynum came free, but Scot Stephenson reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. A collision led to CROW RAVEN getting a freekick after 11 minutes play. Omar Tanner hit a great ball. Rex Bynum struck a weak shot in the 16th minute. Scot Stephenson didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Fallbrook AFC. In the 20th minute Rex Bynum shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Scot Stephenson saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Jerold Trimble fell near the penalty area in the 27th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored CROW RAVEN's protests and gave Jerold Trimble a yellow card for diving instead. After 27 played minutes CROW RAVEN got a freekick which was hit by Jerold Trimble. Jerold Trimble was shown his second yellow card after 35 minutes, following a rather ugly tackle on opponent. That was the end of his participation in the match. Hayden Hickman charged in rather forcefully in the 46th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Hayden Hickman the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Hayden Hickman was the one to do the kick off. Andre Kimbrough made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Omar Tanner in the 51st minute of play. Dana Osborn fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 54th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Andre Kimbrough having to interfere. Santos Alvarez hit a great freekick 58 minutes into the match. Clay Weir came free in the 67th minute and tried to tip the ball over Andre Kimbrough, but to the joy of Fallbrook AFC's supporters the ball went over. When Glenn Shepherd came up free with the goalie in the 70th minute, the CROW RAVEN 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 Glenn Shepherd couldn't finish the play. Dana Osborn hit a great freekick 72 minutes into the match. A collision led to Fallbrook AFC getting a freekick after 84 minutes play. Rex Bynum hit a great ball. Freddie Chapman came free in the 89th minute and tried to tip the ball over Andre Kimbrough, but to the joy of Fallbrook AFC's supporters the ball went over. CROW RAVEN were disappointed that they only managed a draw, even though they felt themselves to be the better team.
