Hide AdTown have been guilty of not taking their chances this season but they were more clinical at Queen’s Terrace.
Impressive recent capture Mike Fish broke the deadlock with a header from Ben Wharton’s cross on 41 minutes.
Great work from Dan Grimshaw paved the way for Wharton to make it 2-0 with an even better header than Fish’s eight minutes after the break.
Luke Parkin side-footed home from Ben Atkinson’s square ball on 69 minutes and Tom Haigh, who is making a habit of scoring spectacular goals, thumped one into the top corner from outside the area after a superb flick from Fish on 74 minutes.
