Against the run of play it was the visitors who took the lead through Andy Whitaker and it remained 0-1 at the break. In the second half Gilberdyke scored twice in quick succession via Sam Sharphouse and Dave McMahon to lead 3-0. North pulled a goal back with ten minutes to go but Phoenix soon restored their three goal lead when Liam Bell added a fourth.
