The second half Churt continued to dominate but couldn't put the ball in the net. The Claygate keeper started to have the performance of her life, getting to every short, the defence were clearing the ball. Hannah Watts in particular was unlucky with several ricochets around the area and one shot hitting the post.

Churt being 4-0, tried a few different things with the team, moving Alex up to left midfield and Maisie to left back. After about 20 minutes of the half, Emily Watts moved into midfield and the Churt defence went to three players, Alex, Martha Pittman and Maisie, all playing at centre back for a short while. Jamie Nixon, was in goal for the first half, and at the end of the game came on the pitch to have a run around also, and did well in the middle.

On the 76th minute, eventually Churt struck again, with Ruby Clarke beating a couple of players and then threading the ball through to Hannah, she rounded the keeper and tucked the ball home. 5-0 Churt. The Goalkeeper managed to role her ankle as Hannah went past, so with Claygate down to 10 players and no keeper, the managers agreed to finish the game as the result was obvious. So the game finished a few minutes early at 5-0 to Churt.

A really strong team performance, with a couple of strong players missing. Another clean sheet for both keepers and the defence. Some great play from the midfields and attackers and an easy victory in the end. Through to the next round where Churt will face tough opposition in Teddington.
