The game started at a fast and furious pace, in the first minute a Sam Coulson shot was well saved by Woods in the Sussex goal, only for Sussex to go straight at the other end and Dean did well to save a Waller shot.  Dean was then called into action six minutes later when he had to turn a 20 yard strike from Beard around the Cambridgeshire upright. In the 11^th minute a 20 yard strike from Cambridgeshire captain Charlie Woolfe was turned past the post by Woods in the Sussex goal. Sussex then started to take a foothold on the game but they were coming up against Dean in the Cambridgeshire goal and he did well to save efforts from Caplin and Waller. Cambridgeshire did have the ball in the net after 31 minutes through Charlie Woolf but the whistle had long gone for offside. The deadlock was broken in the when Matt Hards drilled a free kick from just outside the penalty area and into the bottom corned of the Cambridgeshire net; it was no more than the hosts deserved.

Half Time: - Sussex U18 1 – 0 Cambridgeshire FA U18

Goalkeeper Dean did well in the 51^st minute and gets down smartly to save from House. In the 63^rd minute Sussex doubled their lead as Charlie Coppola brilliantly curled a shot into the top corner from 20 yards.  Three minutes later and Sussex got their third as Tom Caplin finished off an excellent team move. Michael Waller got the goal he deserved and Sussex fourth in the 80^th minute when he fired past the advancing Dean in the Cambridgeshire goal after beating the offside trap. Sussex rounded off the scoring in the 90^th minute when Toby House latched onto a long ball to fire home. A minute later the referee brought a disappointing afternoon to an end for Cambridgeshire and Sussex will now go on to play Herefordshire.
