Before the match there was a pre-game presentataion for manager Mark West and player Lynton Goss.

The first half saw both sides create chances and both goalkeepers Hill and Green made crucial saves to keep the scoreline at 0-0.

Peake-Pijnen opened the scoring tonight with a left footed free kick which sneaked inside the post. Dunstable did respond when Thame gifted a penalty. Dunstable's Christie stepped up and sent Hill the wrong way to make it 1-1.

It wasn't long until the Red Kites got back Infront. The ball fell to Goss outside the box who hit the ball with venom leaving Green in goal no chance. Thame dropped deep near the end of the match but did what was required to win the ball back and blocked the crosses from both sides.
