Second half and the Shrimpers had their bar rattled but didn’t heed the warning and immediately allowed Rafferty to score, 1-2. Dyke remained on top and no surprise when Allen scored, 1-3. Loza and McQueen came on for Kami and Hursty, then Wozza on for Whitey as Blues went three at the back. Basher Barrett blazed over the bar, the Easter Bunney scored on time for 4-1 Rochdyke. 

Full time 1-4, Browntrout gives up on the playoffs but the Blue Army wont!
