OBSERVERS POINTS OF NOTE

Good natured season starter. Players perhaps a bit rusty, but gave it whatever they had!
One goal was a penalty to Stonebridge.
Ref waved away a strong handball appeal that would've been another penalty.
Stonebridge keeper made fine left-handed save on 65mins, one for the cameras!
Two guys watching made all the noise, everyone else just watched in silence.
Young family with 2 preschool kids enjoyed a good play in the grass.

GO BACK AGAIN (GBA) RATING: Yes
