3 Goals in 4 second half minutes send TFC to Defeat

Trinity put on a much better show than the previous week, but were still unable to prevent Beacon from continuing their 100% League start to the season. The opening half hour was an even affair with the Trinity defence being able to cope with all Beacons efforts. It was a shame that the opening goal came as a result of some shocking defensive play bordering on a comic sketch! A poor back pass put Trinity 'keeper Grant Henderson under pressure and he scuffed his clearance, it did however go to a Trinity defender who made an equal hash of the clearance, only managing to present the ball to Beacon ...0-1 That being the only "highlight" of the first half both teams were still hopeful of a win once the second half started. The first chance came on 57mins when a Beacon near post corner was flicked onto the post. This seemed to liven up the game as a strong run by veteran Kev Townell set a chance for Trinitys Danny Barnes but his header was a shade to high. Totally out of character for this game, a surge by Beacon produced 3 goals in a 4 min spell which of course won the game for them. On 64 mins a 25yard shot was deflected home, 0-2. A minute later and a half clearance was thumped home into the top corner from a distance again. 2 mins later and a Beacon midfielder was given a clear run through the Trinity defence 0-4, game over ! Trinity did mount a few promising attacks in the last 10mins, even throwing on veteran record scorer Steve Blanchard in an attempt to get some consolation. This was not to be as a 25yard Graham Dixon free kick sailed just over, leaving Trinity scoreless again.
