Coach Mick McGiven (pictured) was delighted. “Joe Keenan was outstanding and rounded off the best goal of the night, a four man passing move which left Joe through with the goalkeeper, and even on his right side he couldn’t miss this one.” Joe proudly responded by noting that he scored both his goals with his right foot.
Smith played an even more advanced role than usual, and it worked because he didn’t score once last season. But with the absence of a recognised forward, he and a triallist revolved the front role, both often vacating space for others such as Keenan to run into.
“Without Steven Watt, Nuno Morais, Filipe Morais, Anthony Grant and Phil Younghusband who were all with the first team, we managed to put out a team which carried on the traditions of this club,” said Mick.
Keenan won a penalty from which Smith got his first. Two triallists scored, and the other goal was a well worked move with left-back Joe Tillen finishing it off.
Hanwell’s goal came at 6-0 when a loose Mancienne pass was taken advantage of.
Mick concluded: “It was a good work-out on a good pitch. The boys deserve every credit for the way they approached the game, their performances and their goals.
“We go to Le Havre on Monday for five days of training and possibly play a game against local opposition.”
