Match Report

Nantwich Town coasted to a 7-0 victory over lower league Cammell Laird in the Cheshire Senior Cup.

And the victory was marked by a first ever senior goal for the club by youngster Callum Parker.

In a replay of last season’s final, which Nantwich won 5-2, the Dabbers made short work of their lower league opponents at the Weaver Stadium.

They were 4-0 ahead at half-time, with Callum Saunders opening the scoring in the 11th minute, stabbing home an excellent cross by David Webb.

Sean Cooke fired in a fine second goal on 27 minutes, again latching on to a fine cross to blast home with his left peg.

Will Saxon weaved his way to a third goal when he evaded several challenges in the box and his shot squeezed under the keeper.

And Jamies Lawrie made it 4-0 on 33 minutes when he produced a fine finish after latching on to an excellent through ball by Cooke.

The hosts did not let up after the break, and had several chances before Cooke’s free-kick was deflected in off goalkeeper Mike Dixon for 5-0 on 68 minutes.

Saunders grabbed his second on 74 minutes to make it 6-0, benefiting from a ball from youngster Parker.

And Parker crowned a fine performance with his first for the club, heading in from close range on 88 minutes (pictured).

The Dabbers move into round three as they look to retain the trophy.
