IThe second half was similarly competitive, although Hatch Warren created a number of scoring opportunities and Lucy Ward in goal had plenty to do saving several well hit shots that were on target. Again Newbury had breaks from midfield involving all the outfield players and Sophie Mason was unlucky when one low hit shot rebounded off the post having beaten the goalkeeper. Newbury were unlucky not to be awarded a penalty midway through the half when the ball hit the raised arm of a Hatch Warren defender. Three minutes from the end Hatch Warren had a free kick just outside the area and the shot was unfortunately deflected by a Newbury player into the net giving Lucy no chance to save it.

This was an excellent game enjoyed by all the players and spectators. It showed a considerable improvement in the Newbury team compared with te away fixture against Hatch Warren earlier in the season.
