Individual stats for that particular semi-final clash were unavailable up to publication time but at half-time Vauxhall had a one-goal lead at 4-3 and they went on to win the game. Special mention must be made of Vauxhall goalkeeper Olianna Bishop who was superb and ensured nothing got past her for the majority of the game
