New Boss Phil Parkinson used the game to give the whole squad a run out with 2 different sides being put out in each half.
Goals from Jon Parkin, Darryl Duffy and new signing Michael Turner in the second half ensured the travelling City faithful went away happy.
Phil Parkinson took the opportunity to look at a couple of trialists during the game, Lloyd Dyer of West Brom & Newcastle’s Martin Brittain.
The first half was very much a case of too much spanish Sangria as the Tigers looked very heavy legged, with not much on show in the way of ideas. It was no surprise when Winterton took the lead after 10 Minutes following a free header from a free kick. City’s best chance of the half came when Fagan was one on one with the keeper who pulled off a fine save.
The second half was much better from City as we looked like a decent team. Michael Turner equalised for the Tigers following a Delaney head down, Parkin made it 2-1 after the Keeper spilled a free Kick and Duffy finished the scoring off with a low curling shot from the left.
All in all a good run out for the Tigers with good games from Turner, Delaney, Fagan & Duffy. The trialists looked good especially Brittain who looked to get to the bye line at every opportunity.

” its all about getting match fit at this stage of the season”
Sounding match fit, complete with a goal for two of our major strikers, and a goal for the debutant.
What more could we want?
I’ve read that the Beast was very overweight – is this true. It sounds like Fagan was the only performer from the first half. What was everyone else up to. I’ve heard these trialists did well, maybe we can pick up some freebies if they play well against improved opposition over the next few weeks
The Beast was carrying a bit of overweight yes, as for the trialists, Brittain was impressive a very tricky winger who was always looking to run at his marker.
brittan is a gud player and a right winger at so if we can get hi m then it wud be a good capture i wud only expect him to join on loan tho
Where the feck is Winterton?
About 10 miles from the Humber on the South bank.
