From the start this was an evenly, and at time, physically contested game. Both sides had some decent chances as Robinson, Duncliffe, Gbadeyan and Mason either put wide or over, whilst at the other end the Crows were denied by decent saves from Bircham and trialist keeper Bubetty, whilst also hitting the post at the end of the first half.

D. Bircham (J. Bubetty 46), JP. Duncliffe, B. Harradine (R. Lowe 70), S. Bennour, M. Bromwich, J. Motley, S. Davis (Trialist 46), M. Simpson (D. Foster 70), J. Paxman, M. Robinson (T. Gbadeyan 55), R. Mason (A. Fallon 70)
