"It could have been five or six in the end," under 18's coach Hugh McAuley told the club's official website.
"I wasn't happy with our first half performance and our passing was careless at times, but I told the players at half time to up the tempo and in the second half we did that.
"Unfortunately we lost Gary MacKay Steven in the second half due to a hamstring injury but Nathan Ecclestone came on and did very well.
"We scored two good goals as well. Ryan hit a great shot into the top corner and then David capped a good performance by scoring the second after a nice one-two with Michael Collins."
