The second half remained goalless until 5 minutes from time, Jade Brayfield, who had a fine game on the left wing for Barton, went on a solo run, her shot was parried by the keeper Jade managed to collect the spillage and knock the ball into the path of Chelsea Carter for her to score her first game for the Ladies team. Rothwell scored a second two minutes before the final whistle, Barton stand in keeper Sheryl Robinson made a fine save from the initial shot but was unlucky not to hold on to the ball and the Rothwell player slid the loose ball into the net.
