When you play below par, and still win, it shows a great team spirit and a desire to see the job done.
The Blues got off to a flier, finding themselves 2-0 up after 25 minutes thanks to a brace from Sean Thompson, and this spurred Nelson on to go for the kill.
First Sean Thompson hit the keeper's far post from fully 30 yards, and then, not to be outdone, Chris Heslop hit one from 35 yards that smacked against the Daisy Hill bar.
Sean Thompson once again put the ball in the net only for the referee to rule it out for a foul on the home keeper.
The referee then gave Daisy Hill a lifeline. On 40 minutes he adjudged a Nelson foul in the area, when it was obvious for all to see that the home striker had in fact tripped himself up in the box.
The resulting penalty gave Andy Pickard no chance, and the home side were fortuitously back in the match.
The second half started where the first had begun, with Nelson taking the tie to the oppostion.
On 52 minutes Sean Thompson completed his hat trick with an unstoppable strike to give the Blues a two goal cushion.
This forced Daisy to change their tactics to a 4-3-3 formation, which seemed to work well for them as a corner on 74 minutes was met by the home centre half to head home from close range to make it 2-3.
As Daisy Hill pressed for an equaliser Nelson looked threatening on the counter but couldn't find a fourth, which resulted in the Blues changing their shape to a five man defence to see the game out and grab another three points.
