The hosts were in control from start to finish, proving too strong in the tackle, breaking up play and attacking with pace.

Josh McClay constantly put pressure on their left back and created good opportunities often.

It was Charlie Wiggan who headed home a whipped cross from Jonty Gray to break the deadlock on 20 minutes, the next goal was a carbon copy of the first as Charlie headed in the second.

Half time 2-0.

The hosts came out in the second half determined to get a result afetr a long run of disappointments. The next goal came when Brad Kilpatrick crossed from deep, the keeper caught the ball but stumbled back into his own net.

Joey Smith made a positive impact when he rounded the right back and neatly tucked in the fourth.

Jamie O’Brien proved too strong for the opposition when he scored a quickfire hat trick. The visitors scored a late consolation goal and should have had another one that crossed the line, but the hosts were just too good on the day.
