United were already on the front foot by the time their first goal arrived - with Jordon Crawford particularly prominent. He forced Callum Hawkins into an excellent sixth minute save following Jake Wright's cushioned header into his path.

Crawford dragged an effort across goal and wide after Ben Pollock had nodded down Sam McLintock's cross - and then headed over from a Keenan Ferguson delivery.

United's breakthrough arrived when POLLOCK intercepted Theo Streete's short backpass before rounding Hawkins to slot home.

Leamington threatened a reply, with Ben Pollock blocking superbly to deny Dan Turner, with Jack Edwards heading the resulting Devon Kelly-Evans corner narrowly wide.

Wright was denied by a fine Hawkins stop - but POLLOCK swooped five minutes before the break to roll home the rebound.

POLLOCK grabbed the matchball six minutes after half-time after Crawford had done all the hard work on the left to tee up his free-scoring team-mate.

Pollock sailed another effort narrowly wide in the 66th minute - as the Pilgrims remained in full control.

There was a late cameo from the bench for striker Jordan Burrow, who made his return eight months after his last appearance at Chorley.
