The second half saw much of the same, with Magpies firing shots at the Harriers keeper. Zoe Cole, Katie Webb, Lisa Kent and Kay Dennis combined well on the forward line.
The strength and confidence at the back, and through the middle, allowed Magpies to press forward, with Treacle making some good plays from right back.
The home side were unlucky not to convert again, with the score remaining one nil.
An extremely competent and hard working performance from the new Ladies 4th's squad and credit must be given to all.
