Trafford kick off the new NPL season in style with a 3-0 win at Congleton; Rio Clegg, Mike Burke, and Eoin Hogan the goalscorers. Manager Karl Marginson had the following to say about the performance of his players:

"An all round really good performance with a fantastic work ethic that enabled our players to overcome a difficult test and play some great football to boot. To a man they were magnificent. It’s very early days and the tests will keep coming thick and fast, but we’ll accept any challenge that’s in front of us and give it our best."

Dave Law's match report will follow very soon.......
