After dominating much of the play in the first half with some good attacking football, Canterbury found themselves 1-0 down to a very unfortunate own goal. This would set the luck for the home side in what was to be an exciting, well fought out and enthusiastic game of football and a pleasure to watch for the spectators. Whitstable were able to increase their lead before half-time with a fine counter attack and well taken goal after their defence had held strong in snubbing out several efforts from the home side, the closest of which hitting the post.
Canterbury started the stronger team in the second half and managed to get themselves back in the game with a fine passing move between Seth Rice, Ryan Todd and debut signing man-of-the-match Matthew Goldbacher resulting in a cool finish by Oscar Lindsey. With Tom Peppiatt continuing in his excellent form between the sticks and Jack Sutton controlling his defence, Canterbury now had the away side on the back foot in the final stages of the second half and created several chances to level the game but goals were to prove elusive to the home side.
