Dandy Town Hornets delivered a ruthless attacking masterclass to dismantle Young Men's Social Club 7-1, headlining an eventful evening of domestic league action.
In the opening clash of a Premier Division double-header at PHC Stadium, Hornets put on a clinical clinic, effectively putting the contest to bed inside the opening half-hour.
Spence set the tone inside three minutes with a clinical early opener, before Hannay doubled the advantage on 16 minutes. David Jones then took centre stage with a devastating three-minute double, striking in the 25th and 28th minutes to leave Social Club reeling.
Gibbons added a fifth before the interval, and he picked up right where he left off three minutes into the second half to make it six.
Jones duly completed his hat-trick six minutes later, rounding off a sensational individual evening. Zeiko Lewis managed an 88th-minute consolation for Social Club, but it did little to soften the blow of Town's relentless rout.
