Eynesbury United's report on their emphatic 8-0 drubbing of beleaguered United Counties League Reserve Division Yaxley FC Reserves in Saturday's Huntingdonshire FA Intermediate Cup Second Round tie. The draw for the Third Round of the competition will be made shortly:

Hunt’s Intermediate Cup - 2nd Round

Yaxley Res (0) 0 Eynesbury Utd (3) 8

The Bulls started the defence of the Hunt’s Intermediate Cup with a comprehensive win at Yaxley, after a run of three games without a win the Bulls were looking for a response and they did that in style. The Bulls were two up within seven minutes and the first goal was a classic. A great move saw a quick interchange of passes, a back-heel from Ty McLeod found Iwen Jones who slotted the ball home. With leading goal scorer Ryan Baxter unavailable Owen Meeds found himself up top and it was him that slotted the ball home from the edge of the area to make it 2-0. United then had enough chances to be ahead by double figures at half time. Sammy Routs could have had a hat trick but good goalkeeping and Timo Werner finishing saw the score remain at 2-0. Finally though the Bulls pulled further away when, just before half time, Ty McLeod finished off a great move to make it 3-0 at half time.

The second half definitely belonged to one man, the little magician, at the grand age of forty something Dean Parratt still manages to defy his age and in the second half he took Yaxley apart. However, Owen Meeds started the second half rout with a well taken second goal when he neatly finished a good move.

Archie Palmer then went all Cafu with a great run down the right, he then produced a pin point cross and Dean Parratt who slotted home. It was soon 6-0 when Parratt squared the full back up, nut megged him and then curled the ball around the keeper and into the net. And it was not long before Dean had his hat trick when he chased a ball over the top down, beat the oncoming keeper, held off a challenge and scored from the angle to complete a 18 minute hat trick.

The eighth goal was another superb goal as Brad Brown scored his first of the season when he curled a great shot over the keeper to complete the scoring. A good performance and much needed. Now the Bulls can concentrate on the huge game against Sarratt at Hall Road, however today belonged to Dean Parratt, a well deserved MoM, a joy to watch.

Eynesbury United host Hemingfords United or Eunice Huntingdon in the Quarter Finals of the competition who have yet to complete their Second Round tie, should it be Hemingfords United it will be a repeat of last season's Final, played at St Neots Town FC, when Eynesbury United lifted the trophy following a penalty shoot out.
