After early Radford pressure Bardon Hill came close to opening the scoring. A perfect pass split the Radford defence allowing Ryan Collis the oportunity to shoot for goal. Unfortunaely for him his effort was weak and a defender was able to get back and clear off the line. The game became scrappy with both sides unable to string more than a few passes together. On 15 minutes Radford strung together a move involving more than two passes. Ryan Dawkins crossed for Richard Derby who had a shot saved by the keeper. The ball rebounded to Carl Shepherd and the keeper saved his diving header.
The home side were doing well with the ball played over the top of the Radford defence but the forwards were wasting good scoring chances. Radfords Jahred Russell did well to get into the area and go around the keeper but the striker couldn't keep his footing and scuffed his shot wide of the goal. There wasn't much between the sides in the second half as both sides were creating chances but couldn't convert any into goals.
