Soon after this a long throw by Ollie Copeman was headed into the net by a Toftwood defender for 2-0. Jamie Porter worked himself an opening and scored neatly inside the far post.
Early in the second half Toftwood dominated and Harling were mainly playing on the break. Ollie Copeman headed on for Ian Hamshaw to score then Copeman burst through to beat the advancing keeper with a low shot into the corner to complete the scoring.
