Granted, the visitors were without 'keeper Matthew McGraw following his fourth minute dismissal for handling outside the area but even with him between the sticks the outcome would never have been in doubt.

Darren Stirling got the ball rolling when he clinically dispatched the free-kick on eight minutes before doubling his account on 22 minutes with a header from a Craig McMillen cross.

It was 3-0 on 29 minutes with Stirling again involved when his low shot bounced around the area before eventually going in off defender Michael Walsh.

David Cully added a fourth six minutes into the second half with a low shot in off the post with Thomas Gorman making it 5-0 on 76 minutes from 25 yards.

Gary Spence headed in number six with seven minutes remaining while Paul Dickson (85 minutes) and another Gorman long range effort a couple of minutes later completing the scoring.
