Redditch opened the livelier of the two teams and within five minutes had opened the scoring through Kellie Smith. Further opportunities came Redditch's' way but they were unable to convert. Eventually the pressure being applied to Tamworth paid dividends and Natalie Leroux scored with a well taken goal managing to keep control of a ball on the bobbly pitch to lob over the goalkeeper. A third came the Reds way shortly before halftime via Jess Stanley.

The second half saw a similar pattern with Redditch dominating and Tamworth only occasionally threatening the Reds goal. It took a while but Redditch eventually realised that by playing passing football they could control the game in a comfortable manner and scored goals again through both Jess S and Jess L. Both players had opportunity to complete hat-tricks and a little more composure on the day could have seen the result move to double figures. That said all credit to Tamworth who battled through to the end making Redditch work for the victory
