Jacob Bond netted two, the first coming just after the whistle. Busteed hit his brace just before an hour on the clock, Rhys McDermott made his mark in the match in the 73rd minute with a Jack Devenney assist.
Portstewart Manager David McDaid was subbed on and made his mark just two minutes later from a Jacob Bond assist, Aidan McDaid added his second goal, and Jacob Bond finished the scoring on the afternoon after a Daniel Boyle assist.
