Skegness dominated the first 15 minutes of the half, leading to many golden opportunities for the Skegness forwards, including a diving shot made by Amanda Black, which was just kicked away by the Lincoln goalkeeper. Unfortunately none of the goal attempts were successful, and Lincoln was able to pressure the Skegness defence with a few chances of their own; none of which got past goalkeeper Vicky Thurston.

Within minutes of being back on the pitch after half time, player of the match Amy Rutter opened the scoring after intercepting a Lincoln sideline pass, and leaving herself in a one-on-one situation with the goalkeeper, to which she struck the ball in the bottom right corner.

This goal provided Skegness with the confidence they needed, and five minutes later their second goal was scored by Abbi Emerson as she pushed the ball into the goal on receiving a pass from Rutter.
As Skegness began to dominate, Lincoln really felt the pressure and began to make mistakes; one leading to an interception by Skegness which was then passed to Black, whose first half efforts on goal were finally rewarded by a strike past the keeper, to score Skegness' third goal.

The fourth goal of the match came from top goal scorer Rutter, who on receiving the ball, quickly turned and hit it skilfully into the corner of the goal in one swift movement.

The final goal of the match was scored by defender Lara Potts who struck a fantastic shot past the keeper to secure Skegness' first win of the season.

Team: Keely Blakey, Chantelle Farrell, Amy Rutter, Olivia Stephenson, Kate Tyler, Debbie Skipworth, Amanda Black, Abbi Emerson, Lara Potts, Pauline Forman, Vicky Thurston, Emma Shelbourn, Jilly Robson.
