“Merv then scored again at the near post after captain Jordan McQueen put him through, so that put us 2-1 in front.
“There was a bit of a setback when Jamie Durban got injured and Rambo came on to replace him in goals but we held firm and went in 2-1 up at the break.
“In the second half, they then got back to 2-2 after our defence went to sleep.
“But we rallied again and went 3-2 up after Neil Mills and Ryan Stokes combined for Mills to whip a deep cross to the far post where Duane Anning was on hand to score.
“Danny George then came in for Millsy and instantly scored with his first touch after Josh Gardner crossed in to the near post.
“The only disappointing element of the second half came when Kieron Lusher got himself sent off – the received a straight red after about 70 minutes.
“But we finished it off in style when Danny scored again after Josh crossed to Merv who headed back across goal allowing Danny to finish with a sweet right-foot sweet volley.
