George Hirst scored in the opening minutes and Wes Burns' wonder-strike put the hosts 2-0 ahead at half-time.
The visitors' improved in the second half and missed the opportunity to narrow the gap when Matt Godden's spot-kick cannoned off the underside of the bar, before they got a late consolation goal when Brandon Williams headed the ball into his own net.
McKenna said: "It was a fantastic result and a top, top performance in the first half so I'm really pleased, really proud of the players.
"I know how much hard work goes in to deliver a performance like that especially a couple of days after your last game.
So much to enjoy.
