Marcus opens scoring


Marcus Griffiths opened the scoring in the 36th minute, a long through ball by centre back Sam Rodon fell to the new striker and he finished clinically from the edge of the 18-yard box.

After the break it was The Bluebirds who continued to press and were rewarded in the 62nd minute when they doubled the lead.
 

Wilson doubles the lead
