The second half was one-way traffic as the hosts took control of the tie.

Adam Lecky doubled the advantage on 49 with Tony Kane adding the third from a penalty two minutes later after Leroy Millar had been fouled.

James Knowles added the fourth just before the hour mark before Lecky wrapped up the scoring when he headed in his second on 77.
