After a halt time team talk from Cunningham and Porter, Bridge reacted and were quick out the blocks and 48 minutes in and after good work from Hickson on the left, A corner was awarded, Mike Chesters pinpoint cross to the back post was headed home from Andy Gott to give Bridge a deserved equaliser.

With Ste Coady and Liam Sweeney not on the pitch, Jamie Cumpper placed the ball on the spot and slammed the ball home for 2-1. Nkw then had a 15 minute spell with lots of posession, and altho Dickson had a good header on target, Mike Chesters was in the right place for Bridge and cleared the ball off the line. Lewis Watson started to control the midfield and his quick pass out to Hickson nearly gave Bridge another goal but Kirby saved well before Bridge introduced Jordan Neary into the fray and after a neat ball from Andy Gott, Neary showed his pace and un selfishly played in Karl Thomas to find the corner for 3-1.
