Goals from Theo McFarlane (four), Callum Chalmers (four), Tom Chalaye (three) and Charlie Millard secured the most convincing of victories for Racine's side.

The Mackerel Men were rampant from the get-go, culminating in a 7-0 lead at half-time.

The Rocks' youngsters did pull a goal back but a clinical and dominant display from the hosts saw them add a further five goals to seal a thumping win.
