STANLEY MILLS

Glorious cross from the right-hand side got the assist for Greg Leigh’s goal – 7.5

MARCUS MCGUANE

A mature display without his midfield partner Cameron Brannagan and he helped set the tempo in the first half – 7

JOSH MCEACHRAN

First league start since August and he was key to controlling play in the opening 45 minutes – 7

GREG LEIGH

Yet another goal, and a well-taken one at that. Impressive display saw him have a couple of half-chances before he did find the back of the net. MAN OF THE MATCH – 8
