Jones scored a free kick from a wide position in stoppage time in the first half, following a foul on Ben Fawcett. His effort went under goalkeeper Lewis Dutton for his first goal of the season.
Davies doubled the lead in the second half when Dutton’s misplaced clearance landed at the feet of Elliot Scotcher, who played a ball to Davies who slotted into the far corner.
As the Bluebirds scored in stoppage time of the first half, they did the same in the second half, as Davies rounded Dutton to calmly pass the ball into the empty net.
Tony Pennock said after the second win of the season: “I thought that was a game of two halves, I thought first half we were awful. The boys know that and accept that.
“The boys were much better and more like themselves in the second half. We had more chances too which we didn’t take. 3-0, we’ll take it and we move on.”
🗣️ "Seven points from three games, we'll take that, and we've got three tough games coming up now."
