Kealy struck just after the hour but by then the Gulls were already 2-0 up. And the visitors snuffed out any hopes of a Sports comeback with another two goals in the latter stages to wrap up a 4-1 win that put them into the play-off zone and left Mark Beard’s men 20th.
Borough will go again at the weekend – they host 15th-placed Taunton at the Lane on Saturday.
