THE first of this seasons Gooding Accounts-sponsored Division Two Cup semi-finals saw Dan Mercer’s title winners Holt host Zeals at their High Street ground.

And it was Mercer’s men who will have a chance to lift a second piece of silverware following their 7-1 success.

Holt had the tie won in the opening 45 minutes as an Otis Young double and a goal apiece from Mark Maguire and Ryan Bole gave them a 4-0 interval lead.

The second half saw Bole add a couple more to complete his hat-trick and Ben Alexander made up Holt’s seven. Oliver Cole was Zeals lone marksman.
