The closest either side came to finding a way through in a somewhat tepid first half was Colin Magill's 25-yard header which Philip Matthews did well to tip over.

The deadlock was finally broken 52 seconds after the break when Andy Waterworth collected the ball from a throw-in and turned on the edge of the area to dispatch a wonderful effort into the top corner.

The Whites extended their lead on 52 minutes when Gary Browne knocked a penalty past Stuart Addis after he had been brought down by Ian Latimer.

And Dean Youle made it 3-0 three minutes later when he combined with Waterworth to slot the ball beyond Addis.
