The second was scored by Jason Griffiths as an excellent through ball by Jake Booth put Jason through to slot past the keeper.
Pennar got a goal back to make it 2-1 when a free kick was well saved by Dave Pepper but the rebound fell to Noah Davidson for a tap in.
The visitors added their third and the best goal of the game in the 40th minute. Some neat and tidy passing down the left led to a cross into the box for Jake Booth to head home.
At the start of the second half, Clarby had numerous chances to extend their lead through Charlie George twice and Jason Griffiths twice, the latter managed to put a header wide of an open goal.
With the wind now an advantage to Pennar they got their second, scored by Nicholas Willis. His shot from 25 yards out found the top left corner leaving Dave Pepper no chance.
Clarby had more chances to score but Pennar then equalised from a corner, the cross headed in by Sam Southcott to make it 3-3.
The second half was a scrappy affair but it was Clarby who would go on to get the winning goal.
A corner taken by Matthew Davies found Charlie George at the far post, the keeper saved but in the goalmouth scramble Jake Booth managed to poke the ball home.
