Just before half-time Dan Rimmer restored Magpies' lead, when he danced round five Rowde players and placed the ball into the top corner. Midway through the second half Rimmer got his second of the game when he pounced on a mistake by the Rowde defence. Mark James came off the bench to put the game out of reach with a neat finish into the bottom corner.
