After sending the warning signs Bridge took a 13th minute lead with Alistair Waddecar firing home from long range.

Waddecar should have doubled his side lead seven minutes later but headed over inside the box while unmarked.

The hosts were made to pay for the missed chance when Samuel Coulson levelled for Rangers after 25 minutes with a headed effort from a corner.

However, just two minutes later Bridge restored their advantage when they hit Rangers on the break and marksman Andrew Haworth fired home.

The Boro looked to respond once again with Kyle Perry seeing his effort denied by the bar before Theodore Bailey Jones saw header cleared off the line.

Bridge made the task harder with a third goal after an hour was played with Waddecar flicking a header home.

The victory was secured on the 70th minute when substitute Jordan Darr made it 4-1 with his first touch of the game.

Waddecar completed his hat-trick from the penalty spot before netting again a minute from time to make it 6-1.
