They same do not read to much into pre season games and with less than 72 hours to go to the opening League game of the season everyone at the club is clinging on to that saying today

Without a handful of regular players including goalkeeper Harry Reynolds it was always going to be a difficult afternoon for the home side.

Reserve keeper Will Beech started in between the sticks and was replaced by new signing Damian Geldenhuys at half time

Trialist James Godden partnered Ollie Brookes as a centre pairing while Tom Williams was rested ahead of Tuesday. 17 year old Tom Thulborn started up front

A mixture of poor defending and good finishing resulted in a 4-0 scoreline to the away side. The goals continued to flow in the second half with another three being added

The only bright point of the afternoon was the introduction of youngsters Rhys Mazey and Charlie Tunnell both on the left hand side who would have gained invaluable experience in a difficult match to come on in

Brady Stone now turns his attention to the opening game at The Ellgia Stadium and will be hoping to reverse the 3-2 defeat scoreline his side suffered at the hands of The Bloods last season
