The Poppies got their pre-season preparations underway with a routine 4-0 away win at Huntingdon Town.
A starting XI that comprised of 10 trialists and Jamar Loza contested the first half at Jubilee Park. Simon Hollyhead’s side were 2-0 ahead after 18 minutes through goals from trialist number 10, assisted by Loza, who coolly slotted in the second goal from close range. Trialist number 8 added the third goal on 40 minutes as the Poppies dominated the first half.
Loza came off at half-time as the inevitable changes were made. The Poppies were rarely under threat from the ‘The Hunters’ and scored their 4th goal on 89 minutes from trialist number 17 who was impressive throughout the second half.
It was a good work out for the trialist squad on a bone-dry pitch infront of an estimated attendance of 121, primarily made up of traveling fans.
Our thanks go to ‘The Hunters’ as they were exemplary hosts and we wish Huntingdon all the very best for the forthcoming season.
Our next friendly is away at Desborough Town on Saturday July 12th 2025, 3-00pm kick off.
