Goals from Martin 'MJ' Jones, Kyle Whitticase, Alex King, Will Caswell and Chris 'Tube' Breakwell earned Orleton Colts their first friendly victory of pre-season.

Breakwell hit a powerfull drive, which the keeper was unable to stop to make it 1-0 and Whitticase scored a brilliant header from a Luke Herderschee cross to take the Greens in 2-0 at the break.

Half-time Colts 2 - Prestiegne 0

Orleton continued to pressure the visitors defence and found the net again with two quick goals from Caswell and Jones.

Dan Spear came whiskers away from scoring after his 30 yard free-kick bounced down off the crossbar, but didn't cross the line and was cleared for safety.

Sub Alex King wrapped up the game for the home team with a fine solo goal five minutes before the end, skipping past two defenders and slotting the ball home with ease to make the final score 5-0

Club Chairman Andrew Cadwallader stepped in between the posts, but was troubled rarely and had a quet game.

Orleton Manager Kristian Morgan commented that he was pleased with the teams performance and expected good numbers to continue training as the team prepare for their 2015/16 season in the Hereford Times Herefordshire Premier League.

Morgan awarded the Colts 'Man of the match' award to Mike Shillcock, for a solid performance in the back three.

He also thanked Orleton referee Ben Jenkins for officiating the fixture.
