The second half saw Matt forced to leave the field with his injury so James Walker took over in the nets. Again the defences worked hard and a  header off the line by centre back  Dan Thompson gave the hosts a chance of a share of the points. Oakworth hit the bar and then two minutes from time they were awarded a free kick, the long range shot was headed into the back of the net. Disappointment for Gargrave when a share of the points would have been a fairer reflection of the game. Man of the match for Gargrave was mid fielder Richard Orme.

The squad began to make amends in the second half and looked a much better side. An inspired substitution saw attacking midfielder Andy Seddon introduced and he made an immediate impact with a well taken goal. Gargrave continued to look dangerous but a bizzare turn of events led to Chatburns sixth goal of the game. A shot from the hosts rebounded off both goal posts and fell to the feet of left back Josh Town who managed to fire the goal into his own net from six feet out. Gargrave did not let their heads drop and continued to push forwards and their determination was rewarded with  two goals from Matt Brown which made for a more respectable scoreline of 6-3. Al Tudhope was back to his best after early season injuries and  was named as man of the match.

This was a scrappy first half with Skipton Town opening the scoring. Gargrave levelled through a penalty from Ben Brown. Brown scored again to take the lead.

The second half saw Gargrave fortunately up their game . Substitute Harry Thompson`s sliced shot gave Gargrave a 3-1 lead. A further two goals came courtesy of Ben Brown both from the penalty spot. The lively Billy Bolland in midfield had to leave the field through injury so the last ten minutes was played with ten men.

* Unfortunately Billy had actually broken his leg !  Get well soon.

Work commitments meant that regular keeper Sean Kennedy was unavailable again so striker Ben Brown opted to take on his role . Crosshills had the better part of the play for the first fifteen minutes and a good break from the visitors saw Brown tested in goal when he faced a one on one but some brave keeping kept the score at 0-0. Excellent play from Christian Moon gave Matt Brown the chance to open the scoring for the hosts but the shot went wide. Both teams pressed for goal but both defences held firm.

Gargrave were awarded a penalty midway through the second half and Ben Brown changed back to striker role ( or maybe not ) his resulting shot was saved easily by the Crosshills keeper. Gargrave had their chances to take the lead but luck was against them . Simon Boatwright just missed contact with a diving header and the hard working Billy Bolland saw his shot hit the keeper, and then the rebounding shot hit the bar. Crosshills were awarded a penalty and this was well taken and gave Brown no chance in goal. Man of the match for Gargrave was defender Matt Brennand.

Midfielder Richard Orme had to leave the field at half time through injury and with the substitute Billy Bolland having already been introduced it left Gargrave with ten men. However despite the heat of the day Gargrave battled on and denied Chatburn any more real goal scoring opportunities, defender Matthew Brennand almost got a consolation goal when he ran through the defence and faced a one on one with the keeper. Chatburn had the last word when a soft goal meandered over the line.
