Corby Pegasus Reserves 3 (Dave Trimble 2. Stephen McCabe) – Blisworth Reserves 1 – 03.09.11 West Glebe

After a couple of below par performances in the last of the pre-season friendlies the mood in the changing room was very positive as the lads looked forward to the first game of the season and playing competitive football again. After going a full season unbeaten at home last year the aim was to make the West Glebe a fortress again and get off to a winning start in the Reserves Prem Division.

The lads started very well and soon took control of the game with Daniel Sinclair and Jamie Burns both hitting the woodwork. It was just a matter of time before we scored and Dave Trimble opened his account with a good header to give Peg the lead. Just before half time Stevo McCabe doubled the lead with another excellent header.

The half time lead was well deserved and made the team talk very enjoyable. The second half continued in the same vein and Trim netted again to make it 3.0. We then tailed off a little as legs started to tire, as expected in the first game of the season. This gave us a chance to use all 3 subs though and although Blisworth got a late consolation goal, it was a very comfortable victory in the end.

Thanks to 1^st team regulars, Craig McShannon, Stevie Ennis and Richard Chwazcza for helping out and congratulations to all the lads for hitting the ground running again.
