Having seen the youngsters dispatch Fakenham 6-0 last night, Bryan Gunn's side showed it was taking shape with seven more, albeit for the concession of a couple of well-taken Dartford strikes.
Owain Tudur Jones and Michael Nelson were the two new signings on display from the start, with Nelson taking just three minutes to open his goalscoring account, out-jumping the Dartford goalkeeper to nod home a Simon Lappin free kick.
Tudur Jones was joined in a lofty central midfield by Michael Spillane, with Lappin on the left and trialist Scott Neilson, trying to earn a transfer from Cambridge, on the right. There was no sign of either Sammy Clingan or Darel Russell, expected to be the most saleable assets in Gunn's squad.
Neilson did his cause no harm by putting Norwich 2-1 up after the diminutive but impressive Lee Noble had stolen in at the far post to equalise. A mazy dribble in from the right and left foot finish provided the solo moment of the first half. Another set-piece header, this time from skipper Gary Doherty, saw the Canaries in 3-1 up at the break.
There were no half-time changes, and no more goals until Matty Pattison and Cureton, both hitherto peripheral under Gunn, replaced Tudur Jones and Wes Hoolahan, who had partnered Martin in attack.
Moments later, Pattison, who demanded the ball in a busy midfield performance, pinged a 40-yard pass into the path of Martin, who clumsily beat the last man and slotted home to make it 4-1, before heading home Neilson's pinpoint cross to make it five.
New City pro Dario Dumic replaced Doherty and City immediately conceded as they were caught on the break pressing for a sixth, White heading past Declan Rudd.
The biggest cheer of the day from the 1,910 strong crowd came when former Dartford hero Cody McDonald replaced Martin on his return to Princess Park. McDonald showed some hesitancy for the first time in his fearless Norwich career, but still managed to cause problems for his old mates.
The local lad won a penalty for City but, when offered the opportunity to take it, decided to leave it up to Cureton. The veteran saw his spot kick turned against a post but rifled home at the second attempt.
Cureton put the icing on the victory when he floated home a superb seventh after being unselfishly played in by McDonald. Matthew Gill and Paul McVeigh had both entered the action for the last few minutes, having both already featured last night.
