Referee: Barry Bradshaw
It was a great day for the first game of the season, although a little tasking on travel with the Wolverhampton Marathon making driving to the Lucas pitch a chore. Our home pitch wasn't ready for play so the Lucas spare pitch was our stand in. After a slow start Firs started to get the better of the play taking charge by half time with a brace of goals from Calvin McHale and Bryn Jones, with one from Mick McGinn. When half time came Firs held a commanding lead with five goals to nil, and went out for the second half with great confidence.
This was well placed confidence and the second half was pure one-way traffic. Calvin McHale adding another two to make it four, Bryn Jones also gaining a hat trick. Unfortunately for them Merry Hill conceded a penalty which was dispatched by Gary Dunseath, Darren Evans added another before the substitutes started to open their account. Lee Bradburn netting to bring the total score to 12-0. It was a great start to the season with such a convincing win.
