Jason Watson claimed the next one after some good work between Payne and Kay.

The second half started with Kennoway looking to get the killer third goal.

It was Falconer who would get in on the scoring after a cut back across goal allowed the striker the opportunity to pick his spot.

Five minutes later the same combination of Payne and Falconer saw the same outcome.

A ball from Griifin found Payne on the left, the striker dragged the ball to the by-line cutting it back for Falconer to guide the ball past the now over worked Fletcher.

With six minutes remaining the combination of Payne and Falconer came up trumps yet again.

Payne fed the ball to Falconer on the edge of the area, the striker got a shot away that looped up into the air after Fletcher’s save, Payne showed his goal scoring instinct as was on hand to nod the ball into the empty net.

Tweedmouth grabbed a consolation goal in injury time from the spot.

Tony Couper upended Mdlasini as he burst into the box.

Already on a caution, Couper was sent off.
