With Jasmine Odeogberin , Johanne Linehan  and Rebecca Wilks dominating in the centre Court Essex remained in  control and at the end of the first quarter the score was 21-8.

In the second quarter Essex were even more dominant and managed to score a further 18 goals with Manor only managing to score 2 in reply. Nicole Alves had come on in the centre court and soon made an impact on the game.  At halftime the game was effectively over as Essex led 39-10.

Manor came back in the third quarter but Hayzelden and Oshodi continue to score freely and with a quarter to go Essex led 59-17 In the last quarter Johanne Linehan  took over as shooter from Maddie Oshodi and goals were not so easy to come by.
