An unlucky run of injuries forced changes upon Loughborough side but three goals in each half saw a rampant Dynamo pass the first hurdle in the County Cup by six goals to nil on a day when they could have had more. Loughborough seems to have found its rhythm and has started to move the ball with a speed and precision of old. Two goals each for Morris and a revitalised Duggan were supplemented by goals from Major, a fierce drive from all of twenty-five inches, and new boy Burners, with a simple tap-in, consolidated Loughborough's dominance on a day when Shelthorpe were far from passive. The action started in the sixth minute when Scott and Morris linked up to put Duggan through for a right foot shot that beat the keeper. On sixteen minutes Morris was brought down in the area and scored the penalty only to follow it up on twenty two minutes by getting on the end of a deftly flighted ball over the top from Tack to make it three nil. By this stage Munaim and Brandford had got a grip of the mid-field and were feeding Scott and Sharma on the flanks ad this saw Duggan, who was proving himself something of a nuisance on the left, create two further opportunities but fail to convert.
Duggan netted again on forty-two minutes to make it four nil with a fierce volley from close range and Loughborough were now coming forward at will. Burners added a fifth, on fifty-two minutes, picking up the pieces at a poorly cleared corner and Major delivered the final blow, on sixty-two minutes, capitalising on an error by the Shelthorpe keeper to make it six nil. Shelthorpe continued to fight with spirit and drew a fine save from Carter in the Loughborough net who tipped a fierce drive over the bar but the only real troubles caused to the parsimonious Loughborough defence were self-inflicted but, thankfully, rare. This was another encouraging performance from Dynamo who seem to be shaking themselves free of the summer's cob-webs.
