Tauranga City United have tuned up for their crucial fourth round Chatham Cup match with Onehunga Sports next Sunday with a routine 7-0 dismissal of Warkworth AFC at Links Avenue.

The home side started slowly, but were never seriously threatened by a foe who came into the match with just three draws to show from 11 starts this season.

The hosts scored three before the break, with Jerahl Hughes again revelling in his new role as creator with the ball at his feet.

Free to switch from the left to the right and with more of the play-making responsibility, Hughes put his mark all over the match early and then often.

First half jinking runs down the left led to goals for Connor Taylor and Jordan Culpepper, the latter of whom recorded a second from the penalty spot courtesy of the speed of an aggressive Andrew Cooper.

Hughes picked himself up a brace after the break, capitalising on a pair of one-on-ones against over-run goalkeeper Simon Borich.

Cooper and Jack Chaney also got their names on the scoresheet in the 7-0 romp.

Coach Duncan Lowry, who will fly out on the morning of Sunday's Chatham Cup tie to attend a family wedding in Ireland, was happy his side had got through the match without any great concerns.

"All boxes are ticked, goals ticked, unfortunately I won't be around next week but I've done my job," he said.

"It's the committee's decision to play on the Sunday - it would have been nice to be here for it.

"It's always going to be difficult to hand anything over. What we've created here is second to none and we'd been here 18 months last week.

"We think we are doing the things right. We build from the dressing-room out and the dressing-room has been great all year."
