The New Zealand women's hockey team have eased into their Commonwealth Games campaign with a 14-0 thrashing of minnows Trinidad and Tobago in Glasgow this morning.
The 2010 silver medalists, ranked fourth in the world, were never in danger of suffering an shock upset after scoring four goals in the opening seven minutes before taking a 7-0 lead into the break.
Krystal Forgesson scored four times, Katie Glynn managed a hat trick, Anita Punt bagged a double while Kayla Whitelock, Petrea Webster, Emily Naylor, Rose Keddell and Sophie Cocks all got on the scoresheet.
New Zealand finished the match with a staggering 47 shots on goal while Trinidad and Tobago managed just two.
It was Trinidad and Tobago's, ranked 31 in the world, second big defeat of the Games after a 16-0 loss to South Africa yesterday - taking their goals against to 30 from just two games.
