Kye Bilton's red card for a second caution came with the score at 1-1, with Tolani Omotola having cancelled out Danny Draper's ninth-minute opener for the Doughboys just a few minutes earlier.

Ethan Johnston then fired Borough in front nine minutes into the second half, and the Doughboys then pulled away to secure the win thanks to further goals from Glenn Walker and Charlie Green.
