Hide AdAdam Murray named a strong squad to start the Coasters’ pre-season finale, with many first-teamers returning to the side following a 2-0 win at Charnock Richard earlier in the week.
Fylde were creating various half chances, though it was Salford who nearly found the opener when Danny Philliskirk tried his luck from range and fired well over.
However, from that moment, the Coasters were well on top, with Barrett getting the ball rolling and putting Murray’s men in front. Haughton switched play out to Barrett on the right, who managed to burst past Garbutt, take a touch and fire home.
The Coasters were stamping their authority on the game, and Haughton, who got his reward nine minutes later.
Luke Conlan was allowed to pick an unmarked Haughton out in the pocket, where he turned and ran into acres of space, eventually shooting past Alex Cairns from 20 yards.
