Anto Lagan opened the scoring after 27 minutes from close range after he connected with a perfectly delivered BJ McMenamin corner.

Paul Millar's side doubled their advantage three minutes after the hour thanks to the strength of Gary Rafferty who managed to hold off a Bangor defender to meet a Liam Hogan clearance before finishing with confidence.

And it was 3-0 on 81 minutes when Rafferty lobbed the ball into the penalty area for David Larmour to head home his 18th goal of the season.

Bangor did pull one back almost immediately, however, through a Daud Machude 20-yard drive which took a deflection past 'keeper Ryan Brown while they hit the bar moments later but there proved to be no way back for the Seasiders.
