Trinity 3 - 1 DSV

This Sunday morning game at WCL again gave Trinity the chance of toping division 3, a feat not seen in many a year! They managed to record a win but other results again did not help in their quest for top spot. With 5 regulars missing, including 'Keeper Glyn Sparks and midfield dynamo Jack Haughey (away for a year), Trinity set about the game in an excellent attacking way, with the power of Mark McCrea and pace of Jason Harper a constant threat to the DSV defence. It was McCrea who powered his way through the left hand side of the DSV defence and with the goal in his sights hit an unstoppable cross shot to open the scoring on 23mins. Shortly after this it was Harper who left the centre of the DSV defence in his wake, rounding the 'keeper and slotting home number 2. As half time approached McCrea forced the best out of the DSV 'keeper with another excellent run and shot. HT 2-0. The second period was only 5mins old when it was Harpers turn to be unlucky as he cut in from the left to crack a shot against the far post. Trinity were awarded a free kick some 30yards from goal just after the hour mark and it was Phil Brumby, filling in at centre half who sent a rocket shot just wide. DSV began to show as an attacking force now putting Trinitys standin 'keeper Graham Dixon under pressure, but he was able to deal with all thrown at him. The woodwork saved Trinity after 70mins with DSV's hopes given a further blow as Trinity broke away to score their third with another shot across the keeper by Danny Barnes making it 3-0. Credit to DSV as they kept up their attacking play and with 15mins left got a consolation. A corner being only half cleared, was picked up by DSV who shot through the crowded area, Dixon doing well to make the initial save but DSV reacted quicker to hit home the rebound. Straight from the restart Trinity again through Harper and McCrea came close to scoring but the DSV 'keeper again saved well. That was the end of the action, as the fast pace of the game eventually took its toll and the game was played out to a 3-1 Trinity win.

Farewell to a Trinity Legend

Sunday 12th October 2008 at Hibaldstow will be the last time Jack Haughey will pull on Trinity FC colours for at least a year. The 'Senior' member of the squad is leaving England for the foreign shores of Canada. Jack is moving to Canada to become a 'Lift Operator' in the Snowy Resort of Whistler.

After loosing his form towards the back end of the 2007/08 Season, Jack has begun this season like his old-self with some impressive displays and has again cemented his place in the Trinity Midfield. After his Goal and Booking on Sunday at Duffs he now only has 2 games remaining with the Team this season. First up is Sundays fixture against Bondz at Co-op then the following week, which is his last game, Trinity travel to Hibaldstow to face Hibaldstow Wanderers.

So just to wrap things up, i on the behalf of the Officals and Players of Trinity FC would like to wish Jack all the very best in his travels and just to let him no that the number 7 shirt will be ready and waiting on his return to the Trinity team.

All the best

Trinity FC
