REPORT: 
The new look Mens 3rd XI, under the captaincy of Tom Ling finally had their first pre-season game against Harleston Magpies 3rd XI, a team a division higher than them for the upcoming season. The 3s was very different to last year with a variety of new players joining the team from different clubs as well as a few new youngsters, (including a couple of UNI boys, whose legs were much appreciated!)  
 
Having had a small, brief but to the point pre match chat the 3rd XI took to the field and immediately after 60 seconds found themselves a goal down. 0-1 and with all the work to do the 3rd XI then settled and began to dominate the game, and after 10 minutes of peppering the Magpies backline, a Rees Leonard drag flick brought the scores level. At 1-1 City looked more comfortable on the ball and began to move it around with ease and pressed Magpies well with a well set press when we didn't have it. Chris Perry gave City the lead before against the run of play Magpies managed to scramble home a Penalty corner goal, 2-2 but City were dominating and it wasn't a surprise when Rees managed to bag a first half hatrick and give City a 4-2 lead at the break. 
 
Key messages at half time was to keep hold of the ball better and make lives much easier for ourselves!!! City were even better in the 2nd half than they were in the first half, the ball retention was excellent and pressing at 16s was even better. It was no surprise that Jonny Pyatt in the City goal had little to do, and it was City who again racked up the goals. Rees managed to bag his fourth with another drag flick before Chris Perry finished another on the reverse before Joe Koniecnzy tapped in a Tom Ling cross for a 7th.  
 
Overall a 7-2 victory on the opening game of the season, not a lot more a new captain could of asked for, well maybe a clean sheet would of been nice, since he is a defender!!!

RESULT: 3-0 (won) 
 
REPORT: 
With a number of new faces, City were sloppy in the first half on a poor surface. With too many players waiting for the ball arrive, the opposition defenders jumped in to seize the ball. Excellent defending from Al P and Charles, along with some tidy saves from Eddie, kept City in the game. Something happened during the half time break as City looked like a different team. Slick passing from the midfield enabled the forwards to find space in and around the D. Jack L made the most of his chances slotting home two good goals before a final goal from a short corner made it a convincing 3-0 victory. Still much to do before the league starts,but a positive performance.
