David Long, Andy Simms and Craig Parr crossed for Parkside. Simms and Stuart Arkwright each goaled twice, while Leon Davy was named man of the match.
Golborne now face a battle with Milnrow for the second promotion spot but they turn their attention to the North West Counties Challenge Cup on Saturday when they take on Division One outfit Ulverston in the quarter-finals.
