The second started with Okehampton looking more up for the game and they were rewarded when after good quick passing the ball broke kindly to Ollie Squires who made it 4-1. Two minutes later Okehampton got further into the game when Bradley Ausden scored from 20 yards with an unstoppable drive. Another soon followed for Ausden after an excellent Corey Burns pass.

With the score at 4-4 the Okehampton defence were playing well, led by the outstanding Alex Donnelly and Tom Bullingham.

Rangers came right back into it and after a goalmouth scramble poked the ball in to make the half time score 1-1. The second half was end to end play and with both defences seeming to be in charge the game looked like it was heading for a draw until Rangers broke down the right to snatch the winner right at the end.
