And Paul Collicutt`s side took full advantage by beating the second-bottom Alfredians to move into second spot and to within eight points of leaders Hereford FC.
But they had to receive a wake-up call when Mark Francis gave the visitors a 25th minute lead. Mark Magee and Liam Harding though had United in front by half-time.
Magee added his second just past the hour-mark and a Lance Smith brace on 71 and 73 minutes made it a nap hand for the hosts.
