New signing Sam Clark, who was recently acquired from Pershore Town, scored both goals in his debut appearances for the Hillsiders at the HDANYWHERE Stadium on Tuesday (July 9)

The club secured Clark's signature after a six-season stint at Pershore Town, having targeted the midfielder for a long time.

Co-manager Lee Hooper spoke highly of the team's performance.

He said: "It was a good start to the pre-season.

"The lads did well and the new signings all looked impressive.

"It was everything that we wanted from our opening pre-season game.

"Sam took his goals well and I thought that we kept possession of the ball well.

"We did a lot of good things in good areas and controlled the game in both halves, even after we made changes.

"It gives us something positive to take into Saturday’s game against Redditch United, which will be a different challenge as we face Step 3 opponents."

Next up in the schedule is Tim Flowers’ Redditch United at home on Saturday (July 13), with kick-off set for 3pm.

Tickets are priced at £10 for adults, £7 for concessions and £2 for under 16s with an adult.
