There were no shocks in the preliminary round of the Cu-Plas FA Cup, although runaway Division Two leaders St John’s showed their potential with a 6-0 demolition of Premier League side Douglas Royal.

A Steven Glover hat-trick caused most of the damage and player-manager Nick Hurt also found the net after Andy Glover opened the scoring and substitute Mark Wolfenden completed it with the pick of the goals.

Rob Callow was the match-winner as Onchan ended Colby’s cup hopes with the only goal at Onchan Stadium, while Foxdale were pushed hard by Douglas and District before winning 4-1 after extra-time at Groves Road.

Liam Harrison, Ricky Newsham, Robbie Jack and Andy Morrison grabbed the goals for Foxdale.

Laxey won the big all-Premier League clash with goals from Ashley Webster and Lee Cowley securing a 2-1 home win over Ramsey, who replied through a John Leece penalty, while Alex Crawley, Tom Callister and Mike Williams grabbed the goals as Castletown won 3-1 at Michael in the other top flight cup clash.

Promotion chasing Union Mills had too much for Pulrose with a 4-1 win at Garey Mooar.

David Thomenny, Gareth Logan, Sreven Quine and Steve Halsall were the marksmen with Mike Skillen netting the Pulrose consolation.
