Second half chances was much the same with Vale dominating for the most part. The 4th goal came when Sean Smithers turned the full back who then put in a lunging tackle which saw the ref point to the spot. Jack Treacy finished well beyond the diving keeper. The 5th goal came after a long ball bounced over the top and Sean Smithers volleyed it into the top corner. Castle had their best chance of the game, but the Vale keeper made a save of the season contender as he touched Peter Fagan’s 30 yard piledriver over the crossbar.
Best on the day for Vale we’re Jack Treacy, Sean Smithers, and Billy Lennon O Brien while best for Castle were Rory McDonald, Gerry Timmons and Stephen Preston
