Bestwood Miners Welfare hosted NSL Newcomers Asha FC in a pre season friendly in a match that begin in cloudy conditions but soon turned in to a sunny afternoon.

The game seemed to be a even midfield battle with the visitors forcing the home keeper in to several saves.

In the 38th minute, Bestwood forced a corner and had several efforts blocked before the ball was cleared up field resulting in MICHAEL STRAY calmly stoking the ball past the outcoming home keeper to give Asha FC the lead.

Within a minute, it became 0-2 when hitman MICHAEL STRAY launched a unstoppable 30 yard shot in to the roof of the net.

Half time arrived and it was cuppa time for me.

The Second Half saw the Miners alter their formation and they forced the visitors keeper in to action for the first real time in the game.

On 63 minutes though it was game set and match as MICHAEL STRAY completed his hat trick in this friendly, which was the first run out for both clubs.

A good work out for both sides both playing some good passing football during the game.
