Ian Evatt’s side edged their way in front after 33 minutes. A ball into the box from CJ Hamilton was just behind Niall Ennis, but the forward was able to take a touch before firing into the bottom corner on the turn to break the deadlock.
The result marks a much-needed reaction from the Seasiders on the back of a 4-0 hammering at home to Plymouth Argyle at the weekend - which was the latest in a long list of disappointing displays since the turn of the year.
Here’s how the Seasiders performed:
