Trinity 1 - 4 Fender Talbot

On a typical autumnal morning at the Co-op, Trinity produced another improving display, but again got no reward other than their first goal in three games. An impressive Fender Talbot started the game brightly and had the Trinity defence stretched early on. This early pressure produced the opening goal after 8mins. A good 'Talbot free kick was met by a forward who brought an excellent save out of Grant Henderson (who used to play for them) the rebound fell kindly for 'Talbot but again Henderson saved, only for the ball to end up back with 'Talbot to score. Trinity were soon matching Fender Talbot and an excellent through ball from Garrick Simpson found Jay Harper who was unlucky with a good effort. A series of Trinity corners put the 'Talbot under pressure. One was met by Chris Glass who was a whisker away from his first Trinity goal. Another corner was then met by Harper whose effort was cleared off the line. With 10 mins of the first half remaining 'Talbot struck a killer blow when a fine cross was powerfully headed home at the far post. Trinity recovered but were restricted to long range efforts, either side of half time. On the hour, an unfortunate slip by Chris Short allowed Fender Talbot in for No.3. As the game entered the last 10min Henderson was again called into action and again after a good save, 'Talbot reacted the quicker to make it 4-0. Trinitys spirit could not be questioned in this game however and they finally gained a consolation goal they deserved in the last minute. David Barnes popping up at the far post to score.
