The 'Dubs' welcomed back Mike Harrington & Kallum Hannnah from injury but were without Craig Norman and Dave Burton due to work commitments for this local derby.
The 'Dubs' started the quicker playing some good attacking football putting the town under pressure. Kallum Hannah opened the scoring in the 2nd minute finishing of a well-worked team move.
Injuries to Kallum Hannah (Goswami) and Mike Harrington (Dave Butterworth) forced the 'Dubs' into 2 early substitutions.
Karl Boult added the 2nd in the 30th minute finishing from close range after some good work from Chris Burton.
The 'Dubs' went 3-0 in the 35th minute with Russell Spence breaking from the midfield and getting on the end of a through ball from Glen Butterworth and rounding the keeper to finish of with style.
Half time- Thornaby Town 0-3 Thornaby Dubliners
The 2nd half started as it finished with the 'Dubs' playing some good attacking football. However, it was Thornaby Town who got the first goal of the half after some poor defending. Glenn Butterworth scored his first of the match in the 65th minute heading in bravely.
Chris Burton added the 5th in the 68th minute with a looping header back across the goal over the keeper following a cross from Glen Butterworth.
The town then added 2 more goals from a penalty conceded by Karl Boult and an own goal by Adam Iverson which slipped through keeper Dan Dixons hands making the score 5-3.
The 'Dubs' continued playing 'expansive' football through the remainder of the game that paid dividends in the 70th minute when Chris Goswami charged down a kick from the keeper and blasted the ball home from inches.
Town replied yet again with a breakaway from midfield to make it 6-4.
Glen Butterworth then capped his man of the match performance with his 2nd goal of the game with a fine volley form the edge of the box in the 80th minute. Peter Dicarlo on for Danny Flynn went close late on when he headed the ball against the bar.
