The points were safe six minutes later when Pearce prodded in a rebound after James McKeown had pulled off a superb save to deny Rhys Bennett.

The home side made it four when Angol scored again from the spot in the 79th minute after he had been brought down.

Jones pulled one back for the visitors after Bennett fouled Diallang Jaiyesimi.
