Earnie delights in Worthy win

And didn't he do well. Earnie scored the opening goal for City on 25 mins and wrapped up his hat trick within then next 17 mins. If that wasn't game set and match then a deflection from a Chris Barker cross gave City a 4 - 0 half time lead and with it the pass to round 2. Bennet was the unlucky defender who was credited with the own goal.

City used a full strength 16 man squad for the game. 5 changes were made from the game at Cheltenham. Neil Alexander made way for Martyn Margetson, Gabbidon for Barker, Campbell for Earnie, Whalley for Leo and Legg for Maxwell. Gabbidon was not in the 16 so Des Hamilton came in as a sub and he played the last 20 mins.

After being blitzed by Earnie in the first half Boston created a fair few chances in the second half. They pulled one goal back on 52 mins but Peter Thorne wrapped the game up 15 mins later. City though were never really in doubt after being 4 - 0 up and it's the Bluebirds who go into Saturdays second round draw. The next game to be played week commencing September 30th.

Four City players were booked during the game, Prior, Weston, Croft and Leo.

City now face two massive home league games, Stockport on Saturday and Brentford next Tuesday.
