Goals from Lee Tomlin and veteran Lloyd Owusu were enough against a below-par Reds side. Skipper Brian Howard was left on the bench which contained a mystery Czech midfielder who was masked by the name John Smith. Odd, I know.
Meanwhile, the Second XI had a bit more luck despite falling behind to the oldest football club in the world Sheffield FC. Style put the home side in front after 70 minutes but a brace apiece for the in demand Simon Heslop and Steven Bennett gave the second team, which included Andy Johnson and Sam Togwell a 4-1 win.
