The ball fell to Perring on the edge of the box. He took a touch to settle himself and then curled a shot toward the far post. The keeper was beaten, but the ball hit the post and bounced back into the six-yard box.

The rebound was scrambled away by Miller, who looked like he was about to collapse from exhaustion.
The fifty-fourth minute saw Northcastle maintain their suffocating pressure. They were winning every second ball. Every time Foxmere tried to clear, a Northcastle player was there to collect it and start the next wave of attack.
Harvey Quinlan won a tackle in the center of the pitch and moved the ball quickly to Fournier. Fournier found Perring, who was now drifting into the left channel to link up with Whittaker and Marcelo.
