Tooting had an early chance when Nessling rushed out to thwart Paul Vines, but only cleared as far as Parker, who lobbed the keeper, but not the two covering defenders.  A few minutes later Parker worked his way into the area, but his top corner shot swerved away and just missed the target.

Apart from these effort the first half hour belonged to the visitors.  Some solid defending prevented too many direct threats and their best chances came from a couple of free kicks on the edge of the area, both off target.

Jamie Byatt won the first in a series of corners with a shot that was deflected over the bar as Tooting started to fight back and soon after Paul Vines delivered the killer cross that Parker latched onto at the back post, stabbing the ball home under the diving keeper.

Vines nearly made it two shortly after, then Nessling had to save smartly at the feet of Parker.  Terrors were now looking the more dangerous side, but four minutes from the break Hastings created a breakaway chance, which was headed over.  Into injury time and Byatt dribbled in to the box before teeing up Parker for a shot that was aimed straight at the keeper.
