Leeds Medics II Trinity II 1

Trinity II 2 East Leeds Trinity 1

Ian Duggleby and Zivanai Mbire scored the goals as Trinity's second team started the season off with a 2- victory over East Leeds Trinity.

It was a bit of a scrappy game which was at times spoiled by the referee who in the first half showed numerous yellow cards in a game where there wasn't many free kicks. Neil Higgins returned to action and his return was put short by the referee as he couldn't take his ring off his finger, resulting in him not just to be substituted but also a yellow card.  This was then followed by a few more bookings, which might have been dealt with better with a quiet word rather than throwing the yellow card about to both teams. Trinity did well not to lose concentration and with the changes made it didn't change the performance. In a first half with few chances Ian Duggleby hit a ball over the top from 40 yards which the keeper let bounce. On a hard ground this isn't the best thing to do which proved to be the case as it bounced over his head and into the back of the net. 1-0 half time.

The second half was a similar half to the first but it opened up a bit as the game went on. An inspired substitution was made midway through the second half by manager for the day Lee Field, to bring debutant Albert Mukuru on.  With one of his first touches he played a great ball through behind the defence to his cousin and fellow debutant Zivanai Mbire, who topped off a man of the match performance to slot the ball neatly passed the keeper. East Leeds didn't give up, but Trinity really wanted this and battled to the end.  Unfortunately with the last kick of the game East Leeds striker Lloyd Jackson beat a Trinity defender and slotted the ball home. Final score 2-1 to Trinity.
