Lassana Mendes effectively ended the contest as he touched in Steven Leslie’s corner kick at the far post.
Kieran Howard reduced the deficit moments after conceding the third. Howard swiped in a low shot past Ashley Morris who was unable to keep out his first test.
Bala continued to cruise despite Howard’s goal. Louis Robles came in on the far side to shoot with his effort trickling underneath the arms of Wilson.
