Iain Vigurs then looked to have spurned a magnificent opportunity for the Highland side when Richard Brittain's corner arrived at his feet and he shot wide with the goal at his mercy, but a foul had been given.
In the 25th minute Lee Jarvis increased Ponty's lead with a penalty in front of the posts and minutes later Ponty struck again, Jarvis switching to the blind side to link with Matthew Lloyd, who let in Richard Field at the corner.
