In the second half Burton eagerly scored another try, within minutes with great confidence but failed again to convert it making the score  25 – 0.  Willenhall applied pressure but to no avail, Tattersall straightened up to score a try - Briggs converted it 32 – 0.  Constant pressure from Burton continued but both teams lost a player to the sin bin as the match became heated, due to an off the ball incident.  Another Burton player was sin binned for punching an opponent and the match was ended early due to a fight.
