The Bantams frustrated the hosts in the first half and David Wetherall had a goal disallowed for a push.

Danny Swailes hit the post with a header at the other end but Keith Andrews broke the deadlock, coolly stroking the ball home after the break.

Swailes made it 2-0, firing in from eight yards before Barry Conlon pulled one back from the penalty spot late on.
