In the 24th minute Rhys Logan put Hilliard in on the right and his powerful volley was well blocked by Tesfa Robinson. The Magpies then produced a superb flowing move culminating with Logan working room for a shot which flew inches wide. As play switched ends Jake Gosling was upended in the box after a neat interchange. The midfielder got up to increase Khalsa’s lead in the 25th minute from the penalty spot. The home side made it three two minutes later with James McGrady slotting home. The Magpies soon reduced the deficit in the 28th minute when Adam Smith put Toby Hilliard through with a precise pass and he finished in great style. However Khalsa restored their three goal advantage in the 42nd minute minute. Gosling played a free kick straight up to Gurjit Singh who turned and side footed home first time.

Khalsa replied with Singh slipping the ball through to Gosling who hit the base of the post. The home side won a corner on the right which Pride handled well.
