The hosts were always on top, as Peter Evans bagged a brace and Mark Leigh added the other strike.

As pleasing as their performance up front was the way the new defensive pairing of Stenhouse and Kueres performed.

They were solid, yet mobile, limiting the visitors to goals which always came against the run of play.

Booth's goals were well-taken, with his third in particular putting the visiting keeper in all kinds of trouble.

Evans' strikes were down to his lightning pace, which took him past Chapel's challenges.

Overall, Park showed an accomplished team effort in preparation for their first league match on Saturday.

Park's 2nd XI won 6-1 with Nettleton hitting three and Dodd, Foskett and Crump all finding the target.

The 3rd XI won 4-1 with J Lloyd netting a treble and J Sharpe scoring the other. The juniors drew 0-0.
