The second goal came with 25 minutes on the clock after Clement found Lewi Burnside who beat two players before tucking a shot beyond the Sporting keeper.

James Beeson was forced to make a low save as the visitors looked to find a way back into the game.


But the third Lichfield goal arrived on 40 minutes when Dunn curled a wonderful effort into he top corner from outside the box.

Two minutes later and Dunn was at it again, this time sliding in to finish off a Burnside cross to make it 4-0 at half time.
