A cold but sunny morning at Gotham, Cotgrave kick off and start off at a good pace.

Gotham begin  to push forward but Kieren makes a good tackle, then Cotgrave go forward and show some good passing between Liam,Luis and Jordan.  Gotham create their first chance by shooting just past the post but then Cotgrave attack back with Jordan hitting the post.  Some good defending by Luke S and Jacob limit Gotham's chances, Cotgrave then get a throw in near the Gotham penalty area, Luis takes it and throws to Jordan who makes a great pass to Kieren which Kieren puts in the net 0-1 to Cotgrave.  A few minutes later Gotham pull level to make it 1-1, and Gotham start to create a few more chances but good defending and a  few good saves by Adam keep it at 1-1.  A few minutes from half time Gotham score a second to make it 2-1.
