It became 4-0 with the best of finish of the game coming from Regan. Losing his man on the left, took one touch and curled delightfully over the outstretched hand of stranded Dimeji Willan from 30 yards.
Willan made a good flying save to his right to deny Darr his hat-trick, but he couldn’t stem the flow of goals. Nickeas got onto the scoresheet by firing in off the underside of the crossbar.
Ashton managed to get a goal back just three minutes after the restart, as Millen Brown turned home a left wing cross past Newns.
