There was then a flashpoint in the game as a Colts supporter ran onto the pitch following a push from Tyler Sutton who was then booked. The supporter was then escorted from the pitch.
After it calmed down, it was Neyland who regained the lead when Chandler turned well and shot into the bottom right corner.
In the 90th minute an excellent pass by Jack John sent Mike Chandler through on goal and he slotted in to complete his hat trick and to seal the win for Neyland.
In injury time, Simon Ellis chipped the ball through for Max Bowman-Davies who was too quick for the Colts defence and he scored to make it 4-1.
