Mitch Purnell and Sam Downes both scored twice to give Imperial a 4-0 half-time lead and six more goals followed in the second period as Saints' heads dropped.

Mangotsfield United were made to fight hard for their 2-0 victory over visitors Ingleside in their opening Division A encounter.

Tom Smyth gave them a first-half lead after a goalmouth scramble but only a penalty save by man-of-the-match keeper Jason Criddle, diving to his left, preserved their advantage. Dan Turner finally put daylight between the teams, running through to round the keeper and make it 2-0.
