There were no further goals in the first period, but it was  Goodwick who grabbed an important as Stef Hayes’ throw-in led to midfielder Rhys Jones making no mistake.
 
In the 67^th minute it was Will Haworth who scored his side’s third when a quickly taken free kick by Josh Wood saw the wide side midfielder score from inside the box.
 
Three minutes later Jonny Horgan threaded a well weighted pass to Haworth who raced clear before he cut inside and lashed  home from 12 yards which completed the scoring.
