On a pleasent Sunday morning Trinity were looking to get back to winning ways in the League after last weeks 1-0 reverse to Brigg Servicemen in the Challenge Cup.The game started brightly and Trinity should of found themselves infront in the opening minutes of the game. A flowing move resulted in Danny Barnes missing an 'Open' goal from 1 yard. This wasnt to dent Trinitys dominance of the game as they created numerous chances before eventually going infront when a good move found Phil Brumby un-marked in the box. His shot was deflected into his own net by the Duffs defender, But Brumby tried his up most to claim it. ( Trinity 1-0 ) Mintues later Trinity were celebrating again when Mark McCrea linked up well with Jack Haughey who surged through the Duffs defence, and cooly slotted past the keeper.

Half Time : Duffs 0 - 4 Trinity

The second half started abit slow for Trinity who were starting to get abit complacent and Duffs threatened to get back into the game. Trinity had to call upon Glyn Sparks in the Trinity goal to make some good saves to keep a cleansheet. As Duffs tried to pressure the Trinity rear guard Trinity were able to break away and have some good efforts of there own. First Jason Harper used his pace to get behind the Duffs defence and cause havoc with some delightful cross come shots. Phil Brumby starting to link up well with McCrea again and it was his through ball to McCrea which gave him the chance to complete his hat-trick. It looked like McCrea had gone to far with the ball but he managed to get his shot in which went in off the the far post ( Trinity 5-0 ) This goal was to see the end of the scoring but Trinity kept piling on the pressure and came close to adding to there tally on numerous occasions. Graham Dixon came close when he got a flick at the near post to a Phil Brumby corner which just flashed over the bar. Chris Glass then had the chance to score his first goal for the club when McCrea challenged the Duffs keeper who had come off his line, but with the goal at his mercy Glass saw his shot not just go over the bar but it also cleared the hedge and finished up in a field. Harper, McCrea and Brumby all came close again and then Graham Dixon got onto the end of a Danny Barnes centre but saw his shot well saved by the Duffs keeper.

Match Report : Trinity 4 - 2 Queensway

So the football season is back, after 2 pre season friendlies against Winteringham Reserves (5-3 Victory) and an App Frod 11 (3-4 Defeat) Trinity were looking to get off to a good start against Queensway. The Sun was shinning and the New Home kit (worn for the first time) made the boys look sharp and confident. So when Queensway took an early lead, even though it was a good 5 yards offside, it looked like it would be another long season. But credit to the Trinity players, there heads never dropped and looked dangerous every time they went on the attack. Trinity got back on level terms when a long throw from Graham Dixon found the feet of Phil Brumby, who avoided 2 challeneges and smashed in a 20 yard screamer from a tight angle. This gave the lads a huge boost and saw out the half at 1-1

The second half was all Trinity. The midfeiders were laying the chances on for Brumby and Jason Harper but they just couldnt find the finish touch. then up stepped Danny Barnes, he latched onto a great through ball and finished at the 2nd attempt (2-1 Trinity), which took him to his Milestone 50th Goal for Trinity. Another Barnes charge down the right resulted in him been fouled and a freekick awarded. Sam Clayton stepped up to deliver a pin point cross into the Penatly area, where Graham Dixon met the ball with a Bullet Header which nestled in the bottom corner (3-1 Trinity) But before Trinity could draw breath Queensway had snatched a goal back (3-2) Queensway were piling on the pressure and Trinity made 2 subs and changed formation to 4-5-1. As Queensway kept going forward it left huge gaps in the back line and Trinity went close with efforts from Jack Haughey, Phil Brumby and Chris Harper. The game was put to bed though when a great ball over the Queensway defence by Graham Dixon found Phil Brumby who flicked it over the keeper and smashed in his second from point blank range (4-2 Trinity)

So a great start to the season for the boys, and they will be hoping to cause an upset next weekend at West Common Lane against Janneys Allstars.
