Millau continued to pressure and a third came around the 20-minute mark courtesy of Robinson then against the run of play Skirlaugh pulled one back.

In the second half Millau ran riot, Tyler taking his goal tally to four to match star man Robinson. Austen Wiles also netted as did sub Charley Brown, a bullet header own goal from Skirlaugh added to their woes on a miserable afternoon.
