One of the less attractive features of double headers is that, in the event of an impressive and victorious performance in the first game, the second game offers an immediate opportunity to undo all the good work. With the earlier 1-0 scoreline hardly doing justice to their dominance, Logica quickly grasped this immediate opportunity to disabuse any onlookers of the notion that they were a ruthless invincible.
A Reevaldo free-kick that drifted wide of the upright was the only excitement in a slovenly start to the second game. Logica seemed unable to reproduce the urgent impetus of the preceding hour, and allowed Radnor far more time and possession. Chances resulted. A faltering offside trap allowed a Radnor striker to break clear but a weak shot went wide. Hoyland was called upon to rush from his line to clear, before saving low at his feet. But he could do nothing when Radnor took the lead. Danger down the left was not cleared, and the ball broke to Radnor's number nine bumped his shot home off the far post from eight yards [0-1].
The victors of the first game had lost the initiative, and were lucky not to go further behind. A long throw triggered a desperate scramble which culminated in the Radnor goalscorer slicing horribly wide from just three yards. There were signs of a recovery when Logica forced a corner, from which Hatton's towering header was chested off the line. But the thin margin between success and failure was highlighted minutes later when Radnor's unmarked centre-half bulleted a header into the roof of Logica's net from a corner at the other end [0-2].
But as the half closed Logica regained some of their earlier assertiveness. Hatton again came close when his touch from a long Taylor throw went the wrong side of the post. Banoub showed great dexterity to flick a ball over his head before cushioning a cross into Buck's path, but the midfielder's guided volley was also just wide of the target.
This was enough to convince Logica that they were still in the hunt at the interval, and early second half pressure reaped instant dividend. It had been noted that Radnor had no answer to Hatton's presence for Taylor's long throw, and it was this combination that set up the chance. The Logica defender won the aerial battle, and who else was on hand but the panther of the penalty area himself, Paul Banoub, to lethally crack home the loose ball from six yards to register his fourth goal in his last four games [1-2].
Logica now threw everything into gaining an equaliser as they took the game to an increasingly desperate Radnor side. Buck slipped a fine ball into the marauding Gautam, but his left-foot pile-driver from fifteen yards was just too high. The midfielder turned provider minutes later as he skilfully worked his way down the right and put in a dangerous cross that looped over the keeper. It was Brown, up from the back to add his weight to the attack, who got to the ball ahead of Clarke and two defenders. But he could not wrap his head far enough around the ball and Radnor breathed a sigh of relief as the chance went wide.
Taylor's hurling continued to cause problems, but Logica couldn't quite find that finishing touch. As often happens in these situations, it was Radnor who eventually exploited the increasing space at the other end and scored a couple of late goals. Logica's double vision was finally impaired as Taylor's spinning head was deceived by a spinning ball, and Radnor's left winger was free to crack home unstoppably [1-3]. At the death, a high-ball into the box was headed home as the otherwise impeccable Hoyland slipped at the vital moment [1-4].
Having been so close to parity, a three goal deficit was extremely harsh on Logica. They had dominated three of the morning's four halves, but a sloppy twenty minutes early in the second game had cost them a double haul of three points. At least they had the consolation of a much improved performance and two more points compared to the previous week's disappointment.
