Undeterred, Wootton pushed forward in a search of a way back into the game, creating multiple opportunities. A quick free hit was taken and found Rachael at the top of the D, who struck the ball to score a goal, narrowing the deficit.

Unfortunately, Banbury seized another opportunity, scoring again to extend their lead.
