The home side did survive an early scare though as Daryll Thomas gave Dynamo a ninth minute lead with Chasetown's defence at sixes and sevens.

It took The Scholars just four minutes to equalise when Todd Evans and Simon Brown combined down the inside right channel and Brown's cross into the box was steered home by Richard Davies - scoring in all three of Chasetown's Trophy games this season so far.

A partially cleared corner fell to the feet of Lee Parsons who drilled a low shot beyond an unsighted Damien Clark to give the home side the lead just after the half hour mark, before Danny Edwards headed Chasetown 3-1 clear before half-time.

Nathan Waite saw an effort pushed onto the base of the post and Edwards had an effort cleared off the line by Joe Pheasant as Craig Harris' men continued to dominate in the second half.

Loughborough defended spiritedly to keep the scoreline down but in stoppage time substitute Danny Griffiths tapped into an empty net to complete the scoring.
