Hide AdSidley scored their fourth after another ball cut open Hollington’s defence and Baldwin just had to tap it in.
Hollington boss Scott Price said: “Once again it was a game that took us too long to get going in; another game the opposition hasn’t had to do much to score.
“They were horrendous goals to give away and at the other end we had five or six good chances and I don’t think we made the keeper work once.
“Credit to Sidley who thoroughly deserved the win, they were better man for man all over the pitch. We were simply not good enough.”
