Plate Cup 1st Round
Central City 3 (3) Wonford Galaxy 1 (0)
Devon's version of the Europa league brought the visit of league two side Wonford Galaxy to KGV.
City started the match as clear favourites and anything less than a comfortable win would have been a disappointment.
City took control of the match within the first few minutes and after tiring out the linesman's arm with numerous offsides, it was left to Dan to coolly slot past the keeper after receiving the ball from a throw in.
The match was played mainly in the Wonford half and Lucas was unlucky to see his shot tipped onto the crossbar by the keeper.
This was followed closely by a fierce low shot from Will that struck the base of the post.
It was all City and they eventually doubled their lead with a headed effort from Dan, to give him his second of the match.
A Wonford mix up lead to a quick third from Tom D and the half closed with the job done.
The second half was a much more even affair as Central lost their way and the standard of football dropped to a level usually only seen in the lower divisions.
With limited options on the bench Dan was eventually pushed up front in a bid to secure his hatrick, but chances were at a premium.
As the game fizzled out Wonford managed to nick a last minute consolation goal but it was City who went through to the second round.
