Still no luck for TFC even with the Return of Jack( for 1 game only )

Trinity put together one of their best displays of the season in this top v. bottom div 3 clash at WCL, with veteran Keith Harper making his first start of the season, along with Jack Haughey, home on holiday from his world travels. Having played each other only two weeks earlier both teams knew what to expect from each other. This was evident early on as both teams cancelled each other out. A mistake was always going to be key and Trinity made the first allowing a ' Lodge forward a run through to score on the quarter hour mark. Trinity though then produced a series of chances. Good work from Danny Barnes put Jack Haughey through but his effort was just wide. Barnes himself was next to pull his shot just wide. The 'Lodge replied in similar fashion before Barnes fed both Jason Harper and Sam Clayton who also both shot wide. The second half followed a similar pattern until the hour mark when Trinity gained a deserved equaliser with Jason Harpers 1st of the season. Trinitys joy was short lived as HLRes regained the lead 3 mins later with a shot in off the far post. Just 4mins later and it was 2-2, as a long ball beat the 'Lodge defense and Barnes was through to chip home. Howdens Lodge res retook the lead with less than 15mins left when 'keeper Grant Henderson was judged to have fouled a 'Lodge forward. A Penalty was awarded and the Howdens Forward completed his Hat-Trick...2-3. As Trinity pushed forward to look for an equaliser, Howdens broke away and gained a corner. This was headed home, but with a minute left, Trinity had hope as Barnes again broke clear to score his second and make the final score 4-3. So the game ended with another Trinity defeat, but a performance to give them hope for the future, although the next game is against Beacon !!
