After half time the girls came out ready and raring to go with a few goals up their sleeves. The goals in the second half came from Beth Merrick 1, Katie Wilkinson 2 and Josie Balla 1.

The midfield worked hard putting their crosses in and tackling back. Whilst the midfielders were doing their jobs the defenders worked extremely hard and were solid at the back. Sarah Nicholas had a really good game in goal, pulling off some great saves and only conceded one goal throughout the whole match.

The squad consisted of: - Tammy O’Sullivan, Josie Balla, Catherine Knight, Alex Liddiard, Beth Merrick, Sarah Nicholas, Alana Edwards, Jordan Hill, McKenize Fedrick, Abbie Hulme, Katie Burke and Katie Wilkinson (captain).
