Penn stated the match with 10 men and an outfield player in goal as they waited for their regular goalkeeper to arrive. With a man advantage the Kestrels started strongly, but completely against the run of play they found themselves behind on 12 minutes.
A few minutes later the visitors’ keeper arrive but Woodley remained on top. The second half was more even, but 20 minutes from time Penn doubled their lead with an unstoppable shot from 30 yards. With Woodley pushing to get back into the game the away side sealed victory with 5 minutes from time after a corner was turned in at the back post.
