FULL strength Clifton Reserves attacked Stalmine Rangers from the start and debutant Matthew Shaw soon opened the scoring.
Ryan Bingham added a second soon after but Clifton were then caught on the counter-attack and Stalmine scored.
However, Stalmine's joy was short lived as Tim Kinley scored the first of his five goals, battling through the Stalmine defence and sliding the ball under keeper David Cram with a fine 20-yard drive.
After the break Clifton were awarded a penalty and David Milroy scored from the spot.
Kinley was rewarded for his hard work and determination with four more goals, two of which were super headers from crosses by Cram.
Stalmine had the last word with a breakaway solo effort, but Clifton claimed a magnificent 9-2 victory.
