The opposition levelled on 27 minutes when a throw in was headed into his own net by Andy Collett to make it 1-1

United went into the break 2-1 up after a brilliant United passage of play which ended with Alan Chandler finding Mark Naile with Mark hitting the back of the net with a superb finish

2-1 to United at half time

Just before the hour United made it 3-1 when a Mark Naile corner was met with a bullet header by Stu Bowman which the keeper had no chance of keeping out.

A minute later and Steve Walls grabbed his usual goal after winning the ball from the defender and finding the back of the net to make it 4-1 and United made it 5-1 when sub Colin Hagan got the ball following a deflection and scored with his left foot!

With 6 minutes left the opposition added a second when United didn't defend a corner and a free shot hit the back of the net but United had done enough to win the game and complete the double over the opposition
