The city side led by a Josh Moreman goal at the break, but went to town in the second period with Mark Jones (2), Dion Sembie-Ferris, Josh McCammon and Moreman again hitting the target.

Sports are up to 13th ahead of another winnable home game against Lowestoft on Tuesday (November 5), but one disappointment for the club was a crowd of just 152.
