The second half saw Newbury’s keeper on pitch at right back with reserve team keeper Holly Randall playing in goal. Holly was really unlucky when MK equalised with an unstoppable shot high over her head. The game was now really even both teams winning corners. Unfortunately for Newbury midway into the half MK scored to give them the lead. Again Holly had absolutely no chance when the Newbury defence did not pick up the player on the ball who struck an excellent shot in off the left hand post. Ami Blethyn came on for Caz who had to go to casualty with a damaged wrist and late arrival Lisa Duncan came on for left back Kelly Doe in an attempt to salvage a point. Chloe Hunt was in the action a lot from right back including one strong 50/50 challenge which resulted in the MK player temporarily leaving the pitch. Kendall had an opportunity late in the game to equalise but unfortunately the shot was comfortable for the keeper.

All in all this was a good performance. If Newbury had converted more of their chances in the first 30 minutes then they would undoubtedly have come out as winners. MK stuck to their game when other teams might have folded and as a result gained a win which keeps them in the Division 1 title chase.
