Fareham got off to a slow start against Havant, who were strong from the off. Losing 3 goals in the first 15min period frustrated and knocked Fareham's confidence, who were not prepared for the aggressive start by Havant. However the 2nd half proved a turning point, Fareham started to flow and push the Havant players. This showed with 3 short corners and 2 goals in the 3rd period. Fareham's confidence was growing and the effort continued into the 4th period with another goal making it 3-4. Havant were fading but they still managed to hold on and score one more before the final score 3-5.
