FA Cup holders Boulevard went way out West last night -- and committed an act of footballing banditry.

While the home side peppered the visitors' goal from all angles -- hitting the woodwork three times -- Dwight Warren snatched the only goal of the game during a brief foray into Somerset territory, scooping in from a prone position five minutes before the break.

It was tantamount to floodlight robbery, but enough to put them into the competition's quarter finals.

And it was a harsh reminder to the Trojans that possession really is only nine tenths of the law.

Ironically, it was just after Somerset had made their most telling moves of the first half that Boulevard broke away to score.

And if the goal was not a classic, credit should at least go to Warren and team-mate Neil Robinson for a tactical switch which made it possible.

The pair had failed to make any impression on the game when they met in mid-pitch for a brief discussion which resulted in Robinson switching from the right wing to the left and Warren moving further right.

Just moments after Karl Roberts had watched his low corner skate across the Boulevard six yard box with no Somerset forward able to get a decisive touch, the ball was cleared to Robinson. He used his speed to get to the byline before trying to lay it back to Warren.

Warren was beaten to the ball but it fell to Kenneth Hill on the edge of the area. Although Hill scuffed his shot, the partly grounded Warren was able to get enough on it to turn it into the far corner.

Trojans stepped the pace up after the break, virtually taking up residence in the Boulevard half but Lamaul Crofton, Michael Brangman and David Burchall all missed good openings.

Brangman was the worst offender, missing from almost under the Boulevard crossbar on 59 minutes after excellent work down the left by Crofton.

Even when Burchall was stretchered off with a leg injury five minutes later after a nasty collision in the Boulevard box, Trojans still poured forward.

Brangman hit a dipping shot from 30 yards which thundered off the bar and Rodre Wilson struck the far post direct from an inswinging corner on the right.

And when Karl Roberts smacked another 30-yarder against the bar in the last minute it was obvious it was not going to be Trojans' evening.

North Village 4 St George's 0 North Village enjoyed a comfortable passage into the last eight of the FA Cup at Somerset Cricket Club on a night that turned into a personal nightmare for St. George's goalkeeper Steven Denbrook.

Denbrook was at least partially responsible for three of the goals with a jittery performance that was not aided by the swirling wind.

It was a wind that brought about his first misjudgment, in the 21st minute, and gave Village a commanding 2-0 lead that they never looked like relinquishing.

Calvin Dill swung in a corner from the left and although Denbrook appeared to be bundled into the net after catching it, he was clearly already over the line.

Denbrook then went into referee Gary Cooke's notebook for dissent before two errors in a second half minute sealed the Second Division club's fate.

First, in the 64th minute, he dived all over Nakia Smith's shot which had taken a deflection off Kevin Moreno, then he flapped a harmless cross into the path of Jamal Smith, who made no mistake.

Village had earlier taken an eighth minute lead with the one classy move of the match. Kofi Dill played the ball into Jemeiko Jennings on the edge of the box and he cleverly flicked it into the path of Jamal Boyles who beat Denbrook on his far post.
