United led in the seventh minute through Luca Alonzi, after Greg Sloggett had rattled the crossbar, but Town had turned the tables by half-time with goals from Matt Cotton and Zak Munton.

The Pilgrims probed repeatedly after the break, with Manni Norkett's deft header ruled out by a controversial offside flag, but United's trialist striker struck at the death after good work from Michael Kelly and Dylan Hill.
