Our 2nd round cup game started at an excellent pace with several really good chances in the first ten minutes but our opponents stood firm and tried to make it tough.
It took a little time to break the deadlock but a a good goal which started from Ben Saville in a defensive position, made it through five passes before Denzell Gordon sent in a superb cross for Zack West to hit home.
A second goal soon came when Zack beat his man and crossed in for Noah Coleman to slot home.
Despite the chances, our opponents worked very hard, chasing us down and pressing hard leading to a 2-0 scoreline at half time.
The second half saw a frantic start saw Louis Gregory play Noah in who finished well for his second. Ollie Black then dropped a shoulder and delivered a cross for Zack to get a second, making it 4-0.
Shortly afterwards Zack became provider, pulling a ball back for Jacob Watson to smash home.
At this point, we made some changes moving players around to experience different positions and the boys responded.
We continued to press and when Ben won the ball and delivered to Fiaz Agbabiaka, he scored a nice goal at the second attempt, slotting it under the keeper. A little piece of skill from Ollie saw a cross to Zack who smashed home for his hat trick.
Some unselfish play from Denz saw him play Ollie into a good position and he struck across the keeper to make it 8-0.
