Railway managed to get on the end of a cross to pull one back before half time.

After the break kicking against the wind the hosts picked their heads back up and started pressing hard making it difficult for Darlo to find a way out.

Excellent pressing from midfield and the forwards continued to cause problems going forward, with skipper Jos Storr, who was also the man of the match, leading the way with two more excellent finishes.
