Jordan Murray netted twice after coming off the bench as Central Coast continued their build-up to the new A-League season with a 4-0 win over Weston Bears.
Murray was on target twice in the space of three minutes after being sent on at half-time by coach Alen Stajcic.
The Mariners have now won all four of their pre-season matches, including beating Maitland in the FFA Cup Round of 32.
Former Suwon Bluewings captain Kim Eun-Sun caught the eye in the first half for the Gosford club, as did Abraham Majok who scored one goal and created the other before the break.
Majok was fouled in the penalty area to win a penalty on 22 minutes, which skipper Matt Simon slammed home.
Ten minutes later Majok ran along the byline and nutmegged a defender before sliding his shot home from a tight angle to double the Mariners' lead.
Tommy Oar rattled the bar with a shot before the break, and Sam Silvera saw a shot from distance saved by the keeper.
Murray wasted no time in making an impact, producing a tidy finish on 55 minutes to make it 3-0.
And he rounded off the scoring soon after, firing into the bottom corner from just outside the area after picking up a pass from Michael McGlinchey.
Meanwhile, Italian marquee Alessandro Diamanti has been a big hit on Western United's pre-season training tour of the Gold Coast.
The 36-year-old, who has had spells with West Ham United, Livorno and Fiorentina, joined the expansion club on a one-year contract.
He has only been in the country a fortnight but coach Mark Rudan says he's quickly made an impression.
"The things that he was doing on the training paddock...we just had to sit back and just enjoy the moment," added Rudan, who joined United after leaving Wellington Phoenix at the end of last season.
"He's a fabulous footballer who has come with the right intentions and obviously wants to come and do well. His attitude is second to none."
Central Coast are 33/1 to win the A-League Grand Final. The Mariners are 8/1 to win the FFA Cup.
