Joe Hull gave the Pics the lead on 13 minutes with a powerful header from a corner on the right hand side.

That lead was doubled three minutes later by Stan Mugisha, who was in the right place to poke home from six yards out after a goalmouth scramble.

AJ Adelekan capped off a wonderful first half for the home side on the stroke of half time after Royals keeper Mason Springthorpe spilled the ball.

The Rushall man was on hand to slot the ball home and send the Pics into a comfortable half time lead.

Sutton threatened a second half comeback with a goal in the 47th minute courtesy of a Zak Martin goal after being played in through the middle.

Andre Landell quashed any such hopes on 58 minutes with a neat finish past Springthorpe from a Kartel O’Neill Martin cross down the right.

O’Neill Martin later turned goalscorer on 88 minutes when he completed the scoring to make it 5-1.

He found himself with acres of space in the middle and had two attempts to find the back of the net with Sutton committing men forward.
