Spartak 11, Parkvale 0
A hapless Parkvale side, missing some key players, were put to the sword in Marlay on a perfect spring morning.
Leading 5-0 at the break, the game as a contest ended early.
Time after time, slick movement carved open their defence, and it was only when Dave Browne and Aodhan McCahill were pushed forward that the goal romp eased. Aodhan was around the keeper and stumbled, while Dave Browne seemed fearful of venturing too far in the direction of the opposition area.
There was a Paulo Di Canio type sporting moment by Steve Walsh, who, having rounded the keeper, and noticing that the keeper had pulled a muscle, deliberately walked the ball wide. Steve did help himself to 5 goals , with the others from Tom O’Driscoll (2) Steve Grier (2) and Martin Costello.
Referee Tony Clarke duly ended the contest slightly early in a merciful gesture.
