With the wind assisting Barton in the second half they made more of a game of it and did break into the final 3rd on several occasions but could not find a goal for their efforts. Kettering added another 4 in the second half to see them safely through to the next round.

Barton's player of the match today Amy Green, playing in goal - not her favoured position - but she did a grand job for the team. Special mention also today to Katie Newman who played her 100th game for Earls Barton today - both teams giving her a round of applause before the start of the game - which was a very nice gesture from the Kettering girls.
