Dan Cole captained Team FC for the first time as they entertained Shallow End in the cup. Connor McKenzie got the show on the road, completing a first half hat-trick in 35 minutes. The first came from a Jay Stephens’ cross from the right which McKenzie looped beautifully over the keeper’s head from just inside the area; the second off a Shallow End’s defender, which Mckenzie latched onto, took on the last man and slotted in the bottom right corner. Team won a penalty converted by Darren Acott right down the middle. Adam Everiss’ freekick was laid off to McKenzie one touch and fired in from 30 yards. Mark Frost threatened after turning two players and hammering a 35 yard shot off the upright, but Acott found himself free on the right, wrapped his right foot around the ball and found the top corner. Frost broke away, slotting the ball onto Ash Williams, who turned his marker, beat another and slotted into the bottom left corner. Williams turned provider and slotted Mitch Taylor in to roll it past the keeper in the bottom right corner. Stu Urquhart found Taylor free down the right hand side, leaving Taylor with a lot to do but he out-muscled the centre back and netted. Result 9-2 in Team FC’s favour.
