“It was up there with the best performances of the season. We had wave after wave of attack but their keeper had a great game, even though he let in four. We were relentless today.
“When every one of our players is on it like today I don’t think anyone in this league can beat us.”
Mellis opened the scoring after half an hour and also had an assist on CJ Hamilton’s goal.

“It was a great ball by Mal – a little cut-back. I knew the defender thought I was going to take it across my body so I just sent a little snapshot through his legs and luckily it found the bottom corner.
“We set our stall out and the tempo was so high it was only a matter of time before they cracked.”
