Play was even in the early stages, but the visitors gradually gained the lead and it was centre- forward Nick Vandenberk who put the "Pinery Panthers" ahead after ten minutes. East London fought back and equalised through a penalty kick five minutes later, Grand Bend regained the margin of play before and after the interval and were unlucky not to increase their lead. It was mid- way through the second-half before Nick Vandenberk put Grand Bend ahead again, The game ended with the "Panthers" still pressing, but failing to better their 2-1 lead. Bend full-backs Andy VanLeeuwen and Marty Mom- mersteeg were outstanding, while Nick Vandenberk and right-winger Bill Mennen were always a threat to the East London defence.
