The Blues were 3-0 up after 26 minutes through goals from Ryan Tunnicliffe, Michael Jacobs and Ronan Curtis, with substitute Louis Thompson wrapping it up in stoppage time.

5. Ryley Towler - 8
Defensively sound, particularly in the air, and there was even a first-half moment when he charged upfield with the ball at his feet, reminiscent of Matt Clarke. Still continues to impress. Photo: None
6. Connor Ogilvie - 7
No frills but reliable as ever. Wasn’t challenged to attack too much down the left, but wasn’t needed to with so many of the attacking players on-form. Photo: National World

8. Ryan Tunnicliffe - 8
(Replaced by Louis Thompson on 68 minutes) Opened the scoring with a calm finish and also claimed an assist for Curtis’ goal. Rejuvenated and winning admirers by the game as he continues to flourish with first-team opportunities. Photo: National World
