Lichfield City FC turned in a five-star performance to see off Heather St Johns.
The Brownsfield Park side were quick out of the blocks and spurned a number of early chances.
Odane Barnes, who came off the bench to score two in Saturday’s draw with Atherstone, struck the upright before being forced off with an injury.
But Nick Harris finally made the breakthrough when his effort squirmed through a packed area to find the net.
City’s hardwork was soon undone though when Tom Lapworth levelled.
Martin Crawford put Lichfield back in front with half-an-hour on the clock.
Any hopes Heather St Johns had of a comeback were extinguished in a 15 minute spell just after the hour mark.
Joe Parke, Kyle Minto and Adam Wood all found the net to earn City a 5-1 win.
Lichfield face a tough test on Saturday (August 15) when they visit Coventry United in the Midland Football League Division One. The hosts have won their two opening games, scoring six goals and conceding none.
