The Webb then scored on the 20th and 38th min through goals by Jamie Maplecroft and Josh Scobie respectively. Bar 8s new boy Kam Rzeszutek then struck from long range to take the game level into the break. In the second half, Kam Rzeszutek hit the net again to give back the lead with Tom Protheroe making it 4-2. Josh Scobie scored his second and the Webb's third to round off the scoring on 79 mins.
