In the second half Rockcliff upped the gears and again found a way through the Guisborough rearguard when the back row put together a good move to set Gould free, and he passed back inside to the supporting figure of flanker Noel Mather. Lock Neil Thornton then took the ball on and he passed to Josh Donnelly to finish the move off.  Andrew Webster added the conversion to put Rockcliff 12-5 up.

With their tails up Rockcliff began to play with confidence and when scrum half Ross Bailey put his opposite number under pressure at a scrum the Guisborough stand off tried to retrieve the situation but Gould was alert to the opportunity and he hacked through and followed up to score his second try of the game.
