The first-half ended with Athletic adding a second in stoppage time. Clements was the provider with a cross from the left being powered in the net by the head of James Verney at the far stick.
The hosts had the benefit of the wind behind them in the second period and pushed more players forward. The game became more competitive and the Stotfold appeared to be getting on top. They got one goal back in the 68th minute from only their second corner of the game when defender Josh Miles fired home from just inside of the area.
Athletic brought on Lee Stobbs for Luke Dunstan in the 77th minute and just a minute later he made it 3-1 with a superb finish.
