The second half was a different proposition as Rangers came out with four changes and looked more effective from the restart. Just a minute into the half, and half-time sub Theo Bailey-Jones was the beneficiary of some slack defending as he found himself on the right corner of the six-yard box and hammered into the roof of the net for a one-nil lead. Newtown rallied briefly after this, as Lewis King pulled off a fine save from close range, Nick Rushton fired over after a neat pull back, then Sam Phillips shot over from a near post corner. This was probably as good as it got for the visitors, as Rangers appeared to get stronger as the game wore on. This being testament to their fitness as Newtown were several weeks ahead of their hosts, fitness-wise. Not long after young Max Dixon had been introduced, Bailey-Jones fed him down the right channel and as he ran on, he shot past the far post. Haworth then had a free kick saved before the second goal arrived. Dixon again down the right channel lofted a pass to the back post where the unfortunate Craig Williams turned the ball past Jones for a two-nil lead that reflected, more realistically, the second half play. Another effort from Haworth was saved before the last action of the game saw Dixon take the ball round Jones but a defender getting back for a last-ditch tackle prevented further embarrassment.
