Hamilton knocked them into the lead after just 14 minutes when he delivered a left-foot effort past Chris Keenan.

And he made it 2-0 on 40 minutes when he pounced after his initial shot from a Colin Nixon cross was allowed by Keenan to slip from his grasp.

Hamilton duly grabbed his hat-trick ten minutes into the second half with a back post header from a Kyle Neill corner which Keenan completely missed.
