So 1 down, about 70 to go! Chatteris away gave the boys a good run-out against a pretty decent team. Surface looked ok and earlier rain gave it a bit of zip at times. 4 goals but only caught 3 of them. All well taken starting with a simple knock-in from Connor following a mix-up in the CT defence. Lots of new faces throughout the side (and rolling subs bench). As usual Danny Newman kept Saints back 4 pretty solid (alongside Steve Poore). Pick of new faces was Lee Ellison and Dave Cobb (looks like a player). Between the sticks Gav and Niall took a half each and both looked excellent. All-in-all a reasonably competative, well paced pre-season opener. Solid all-round performance from the boys and on this evidence we should do ok this season when things start proper away at Holbeach. Caught a preview of the new kit - looks smart as a frog (cross between Partizan Belgrade and a B/W version of an old Ajax kit). Anyway looking forward to Cambs Utd on Sat at WWR. Got around 6 CUFC mates coming along so hope to direct them to the bar for a few before KO.
Saints on the scoresheet: Connor (carefully crafted knock-in), Lee (nice, flicked header), Matty (60 yard screamer) and Fox in the box (in the bar so missed it ... sure there's more to come though)
Til the next time cheers and see you down WWR.
