HT 2-3

Punjab produced a superb comeback from 3-0 to preserve there unbeaten record in pre-season.

The Punjab starting line-up had a blend of experience and youth with a total of 18 players used in this work out.

The visitors stormed into a 3 goal lead as the Punjab back line was exposed by some good movement by the visitors.

Punjab then came back when Andrew Cox rounded the keeper for 1-3 before he scored a 2nd to reduce the deficit to 2-3 at the break.

The second half began and Striker Hassan Mumin scored with a neat finish for 3-3.

Hassan then converted a corner for 4-3 before he latched onto a good through ball to hammer home his third and his hat trick goal.

The visitors scored again for 5-4.

With the fitness levels and the movement Punjab possessed the visitors could not quite get back into the game.

A special thank you to both sets of players for a good game played in good spirit.
