After returning from a week-long training camp in Spain, City got back to football this evening, and kicked off their pre-season, as they did last year, with a win at Winterton.

After the North Counties East League side took a first half lead, Tigers debutant Michael Turner equalised.

City went on to win the match 3-1 through goals from Jon Parkin and Darryl Duffy. Phil Parkinson played a different line-up in each half and fielded two trialists in the team, Newcastle winger Martin Brittain and West Brom's Lloyd Dyer, as well as a couple of youth team players. They return to action on Friday, playing North Ferriby United for the Billy Bly Memorial Trophy at Church Road.

First half line-up: Boaz Myhill; Mark Lynch, Alton Thelwell, Sam Collins, Lloyd Dyer; Billy Paynter, Keith Andrews, Stuart Green, Will Atkinson; Craig Fagan, Ben Burgess.
Second half line-up: Matt Duke; Tom Matthews, Michael Turner, Damien Delaney, Andy Dawson; Martin Brittain, Russell Fry, John Welsh, Stuart Elliott; Darryl Duffy, Jon Parkin.
