Yeovil Town youngsters had a comfortable 3-1 win away at Chippenham in the Preliminary Round of the FA Youth Cup.
Without playing well Yeovil created numerous chances and dominated the game. After 28 minutes and, having already missed quite a few chances, Yeovil finally took the lead with Sam Vine scoring an impressive goal.
Dan Bulley had further chances to increase the Yeovil lead before the impressive Steven Reed scored with a left foot volley. It was 2-0 at half-time, but could have six or seven such was Yeovil's dominance of proceedings.
The second period was a bit of an anti-climax with neither side playing that well, but Yeovil still kept on creating chances.
Dean Ritchie hit the crossbar with a 25-yard rocket and Ian Patchet fired wide. Yeovil went 3-0 up, however, when from a set-piece Reed curled a left-foot shot round the keeper for his second of the night.
Chippenham had their best spell in the last 15 minutes and scored a deserved consolation goal with five minutes remaining.
Yeovil's youth team manager, Stuart Housley, said: "It was a controlled performance from Yeovil with Ian Linney and Paul Henbest looking strong.
"Man of the match Richard Leach and Steven Reed also looked strong and well-organised with Carmen Nataro constantly dangerous on the right wing."
Yeovil Town will now play either Cirencester or Bitton on a date to be announced in the next round of the FA Youth Cup.
