Prospect tied it up in the second half but Cougars stepped up another gear to make it 3-2 within five minutes when Clark scored his second following a cross from the right from Brian Anderson which he headed down and then ran on to to flick past the 'keeper.

Wali Salaam closed out the scoring when Clarke laid on a pass to him from the right. Salaam beat two defenders before scoring.
