The second half did not really improve with both teams looking less than their best. Neither failed to dominate or really create a chance for some time at the start of the second half. Midway through the half, with both teams looking even more jaded, both Hannah Benson and then Hazel Beesley began to boss the midfield for the home team. They both became more confident and began running at the opposition and within minutes of each other both had dribbled their way past a few players from the half way line to the edge of the Eagles box, only to see their well struck shots equally matched with very good saves from the visitors keeper. It was looking like a draw was on the cards but with legs tiring more chances soon came. The first was to the Eagles who again beat the offside trap but with Honor off her line quicker she was able to put the striker off and she fired wide, a minute later Newbury were again caught and this time Honor was again off her line but the shot was good and she could only watch as the ball went over her head and with the crowd waiting for the ball to ripple the net it was the cross bar that saved them before Naomi Purvis cleared. This shook the home team up and Newbury dug deeper and when Ruby Oliver broke free it was Sophie again who met the cross and scored with a goal virtually identical to her first, giving the home team all the points and saving their blushes.
