On the hour mark Slyne extended their advantage when Dickson volleyed home superbly to give his side a two-goal cushion with just half an hour to play.

Slyne then seemed to have killed the game off in the 77th minute when Hunter smashed home a volley to make it 4-1.

However, Fulwood rallied and with seven minutes remaining Blackwell scored his second of the game to give the visitors a lifeline.

Peter Wright pulled another back with two minutes to go, but Slyne were able to keep them out and earn all three points.
