City came from a goal down to comfortably see off Athlone in an entertaining opening game to their Irish tour.
James Meredith deflected Neil Harney’s cross into his own net to give the Airtricity League side the lead against the run of play midway through the first half.
But City, who had already hit the bar through James Hanson, responded with three goals in an 11-minute burst from Nahki Wells, the impressive Mark Yeates and Rory McArdle.
Alan Connell slotted a late fourth for the visitors, who included Raffaele De Vito again and former Doncaster keeper Gary Woods. None of the other trialists from Saturday have made the trip.
