North Village 14 Tuff Dogs 0

Under grey skies which bore intermittent rain, North Village poured in a torrent of goals against Tuff Dogs yesterday afternoon in a crushing 14-0 victory at Bernard Park.

Underpinned by four second-half goals from Mackie Crane - a half-time substitute for Clay Smith who himself netted twice in the first 45 minutes - and an outstanding all-round performance by their entire line-up, Village breezed into the FA Cup's second round to the delight of faithful fans who braved the weather to witness the annihilation of a team that in no way lived up to their name.

For Tuff Dogs, the match proved to be as bleak as the conditions from as early as the fourth minute when Smith slotted home from close range.

There would be six goals in the first half with Smith contributing another, Kevin Jennings banging in two - including a blistering left-foot shot from about 12 yards that beat Tuff Dogs' goalkeeper Stephen Pett and rattled the net's upper left corner - and Michael Hansey and Jason Dill putting in one apiece.

Clearly not satisfied with that effort and, in dressing-room byplay, accusing each other of wasting some of their dozen or so chances, Village's players determined to produce even better in the second half.

Crane announced his presence in grand style when, on a breakaway run, he coolly flicked the ball past the right hand of the diving and oncoming Pett and into the goal. It was the 50th minute and Village were off and gunning again when Keith Jennings also deftly beat the hapless Tuff Dogs custodian to make it 8-0 in the 52nd minute.

Then it was all Crane for about 15 minutes as the striker scored in the 57th, 64th and 72nd minutes. While he took the glory, bows could be taken by the unselfish Dwight (Payback) Warren, who worked hard in midfield creating Crane's second and third goals, and Kentoine Jennings whose driving run up the right flank led to Crane's fourth. That was 11-0.

Kentoine then decided to put himself on the scoresheet too, latching onto a long ball from Village goalie Dwayne (Streaker) Adams and outsprinting the defenders to beat Pett.

The last two goals were richly deserved for different reasons. A brilliant left-foot volley by substitute Kaiwon Dill was the goal of the match for sheer panache and - finally and fittingly - Warren, the day's playmaker, scored the 14th goal from close range.

Tuff Dogs never posed a serious threat to Village's defence, their best chance being a driving shot by Jeff Franklin which Adams parried wide. The score was already 9-0 at that point and it was just the pride of keeping a clean sheet that concerned Village. So bored was Adams that he even ventured forward a few times, once darting up the right flank and shooting to his opposite number.

Wolves 2 Robin Hood 0

Earlier at Bernard Park, in a match that was almost forgotten, Wolves - bolstered by the return of United States-based player John Barry Nusum - beat Robin Hood 2-0.

A penalty by Jared Peniston in the 19th minute and a Vincent Minors goal in the 48th minute sealed the win but Hood should really have paid more heavily for slack defending. Minors and Michael Paul combined up front to terrorise the losers who escaped the embarrassment suffered by Tuff Dogs because of Wolves' poor finishing.
