Leon Luby put the Vikings ahead in the fifth minute after being set up by Jake Merry.
In the 36th minute a ball from keeper Sam Franklin set up Camron Thomas and he scored to make it 2-0 to the hosts.
Neyland battled well in the second half but were unable to find a goal which would have got them back in the game.
With six minutes to go Ryan Wilson scored to all but seal the points for the Vikings.
The win means Hakin are now ten points behind leaders Goodwick with three games in hand.
