VIBRANT Archdales '73 boosted their great goal difference with a 10-0 thrashing of Midland Combination Division Two basement boys Continental Star Reserves.

Carl Nesbitt powered home a header from Ashley Banner's corner to give Dales a great start and then Jason Beck out-jumped the 'keeper to nod in Dean Smith's superb ball.

Darren Tafft's volley from a Banner cross was followed by the goal-of-the-game as Beck dispatched a 25-yard strike into the top-right stanchion following a good move.

The goals did not dry up in the second-half as midfielder Richard Silk bagged two quick goals with Matt Wilkes providing a dazzling assist.

Sub Phil Turpin slid home the seventh from Neil Clinton's fine wing wizardry.

Top scorer Tafft lifted home his 30th goal of the season, Nesbitt out-sprinted the defence for a ninth and Chris Kelly completed the scoring with an 18-yard rocket from Neil Mogford's pass.
