Trinity through to round 3 of Bob Bedford Cup...

This Bob Bedford Round 2 game at the Co-op saw Div 6 promotion hopefuls MFM Academicals take an early lead against fellow promotion hopefuls from Div 3 - Trinity. The game being only 2 mins old when a hopeful punt in the direction of the Trinity goal, completly deceived Graham Dixon and found the back of the net. As the words of Manager Keith Harper at half time ' He just hit it...and it went in ' Things could have got worse for Trinity when an MFM cross hit Trinity Defender Camplin and Dixon picked it up, this was deemed to be a back pass for some strange reason. The resulting indirect free kick, 6 yards out was charged down. Trinity finally began to look like the senior team producing several good moves, the best, on 20 mins saw a Jason Harper header clip the cross bar. Just after the half hour, Trinitys top scorer, Mark McCrea went on a typical run and made it 1-1. Before half time MFM were again pressing, but the Trinity defence held firm. It took Trinity only 5 mins of the second half to take the lead when the MFM centre half slipped allowing Jason Harper through to score. On the 60 min mark Trinity made it 3-1 when David Barnes ghosted through the MFM defence to head home a Phil Brumby cross for his first Trinity goal for several years. If Trinity thought the game was won, MFM had other ideas and were soon back in the game with their second goal. The game was now end to end stuff, with McCrea again going close before Dixon was called into making the double save of the game. A MFM corner was shot at goal with Dixon saving well and then having to be alert to push away the rebound. That was MFM's last real effort, with trinity pushing forward again. With 5 mins left Brumby hit the MFM bar with a header and two mins later Trinity sealed their path to round 3 when McCrea fed Harper who forced his way through to score his second and trinitys 4th.
