Trinity made to Battle for 3 points...

Trinity's first Home game of the season saw the visit of DSV, and after last weekends disappointing defeat, Trinity were chomping at the bit to get there first points on the table.

The game started brightly and Trinity got out the blocks sharpest and piled the pressure on the DSV rear guard. A sparkling run down the right side of midfield by Rich Brown ended when a DSV defender fouled him, allowing Trinity to fill the box. The freekick was floated over by Sam Clayton which found the head of Jay Harper. His powerful header had the keeper beaten but went just the wrong side of the post. It wasnt long though before Trinity were handed a gift by DSV. A mazey run into the box by Rob Needham resulted in him been brought down and a penalty been awarded. Up stepped Captain Graham Dixon who fired Trinity into the lead with his second goal in as many games. Trinity really had the grit between there teeth now and were piling on the pressure. A second goal looked a certainty and when Harpers pin point cross found the head of Sam Clayton, he rifled it past the DSV keeper. Trinity 2-0 DSV. Clayton was then to turn provider, as his run and cross from the left found the head of Needham, who under pressure from 2 DSV defenders, found the bottom corner. Trinity 3-0 DSV. The third Trinity goal seemed to spur on DSV though and with 10 minutes of the half remaining started to cause problems in the Trinity defense. The Trinity rear guard kept them to long range efforts which went both high and wide.

The second half started in the same way the first had ended with DSV piling on the pressure. With the second half only 5 minutes old DSV found a Glimmer of hope. A Free kick was only half cleared and the shot that followed managed to find its way past Henderson in goal to make it 3-1. Trinity were really struggling to get there passing football going again and a loose ball in midfield was picked up by the DSV captain. His thunderous shot from a full 30 yards bent away from the keeper and into the top corner of the net. Game on, Trinity 3-2 DSV. As DSV pushed for an equaliser, Trinity tried in vain to extend there lead but saw way ward shots from Robbo, Clayton and Harper come to nothing. After more pressure by DSV and a few close calls,Trinity's defense managed to stay firm and see out the game to claim there first points of the season.
