It was billed as a re-match of a tumultuous clash between Spectra Sec and Bowen Sec in the C Divsion Boys Inter-Schools Competition 2 years ago when refereeing controversy dominated the match highlights. Now, both set of players meet again in the B Division and the Bowen Bullets came out tops by overcoming their rivals 2-1 at Lor Napiri.

The Bullets dominated possession right from the start and did not wait long to open accounts. Left-winger Mhd Zamani scored in the 3rd minute with an angled shot that sailed across the Spectra goalkeeper and into goal, assisted by teammate Aizal M.
In the 33rd minute, centre-back H. Aniq unleashed a thunderous shot that rocked the crossbar. Time stood still as everyone waited for the ball to find its way back to the ground. Fortunately for Spectra, the defence was first to react and cleared the ball for a corner.

12 minutes after the break, the Bullets were awarded a free kick in the opponents' half as they seek to double the advantage. And this they did, courtesy of a free kick from Bullets skipper Muhd Tahalif. His swirling free kick towards goal was too much for the Spectra goalkeeper who only managed to palmed the ball into his own goalmouth.

The Bullets took their foot off the pedal with a 2-goal advantage as Spectra struggled to offer any real attacking threat. However, the Bowen boys were jerked back into reality in the 73rd minute. With a free kick from the halfway line, Spectra skipper lobbed the ball toward goal and caught the Bullets keeper Desmond Ong napping. The flight of the ball was misjudged by the Bullets custodian as it sailed over him and nestled in the back of the net. The goal seemed to send renewed energy into the Spectra players as they pressed forward for an equaliser.
