Williams completed a six-minute hat-trick nodding home a corner from Richie Lewis.

The away side faced an uphill battle from then on and things got worse in the 23rd minute. Goal scorer turned provider as Williams beat two defenders before crossing to Lewis who put the ball in the net.

Just three minutes later it was five. Sam Roden rose highest to meet Chris O’Sullivan’s corner and thundered a header past the helpless keeper.

For Tata Steel it was now about damage limitation, and they survived for the rest of the half without conceding another goal.

The Blues continued to dominate in the second half but could not add to the score sheet. Sub Joey Leahy came close to adding a sixth when his 20-yard shot brought a brilliant save from the Tata keeper Rogers.

Two minutes before the end Tata grabbed a consolation goal that there effort deserved. Captain Lee MacLachlan headed home from a Connor Harris corner.
