Dandy Town 3 Social Club 0

Fans at St.John?s Field could have been excused for thinking they had entered a time warp after Darren (Duke) Simons delighted them with a touch of class, the likes of which once made him one the most feared strikers in the land.

Elevated from Town?s Commercial ranks for the day?s cup tie, Simons repaid coach Devarr Boyles for the favour by curling in 25-yard free kick from an acute angle just outside the 18-yard box as the defending champions waltzed into the second round with a comprehensive 3-0 win.

Others coming up trumps for Hornets were Lloyd Holder, who celebrated his first goal for his new club following an off-season transfer from Devonshire Colts, and Lashun Dill who scored with a long-range header.

Parish replied through a Leroy Robinson brace and an 85th minute equaliser from Leon Raynor.
