Slough Town secured a confident 3-0 victory over Leverstock Green in a pre-season friendly at Arbour Park.
The match, arranged by Scott Davies to provide valuable game time for several players recovering from COVID and injuries, saw goals from Jeanmal Prosper, Sam Evans, and Dan Bayliss.
The match kicked off on a warm Tuesday evening with Slough Town fielding a strong starting lineup. It was another good workout for the Rebels, who had control of the play without creating many opportunities.
The breakthrough came just before half time. In the 42nd minute, Scott Davies chipped a precise through ball to Jeanmal Prosper, who cleverly lobbed the advancing Leverstock Green goalkeeper to open the scoring.
Half time: Slough Town 1-0 Leverstock Green
Several changes were made at half time to give everyone vital minutes, with further substitutions occurring on the hour mark, introducing fresh legs and a few trialists into the fray. These changes did not disrupt Slough's dominance as they continued to press for a second goal.
In the 83rd minute, Slough doubled their lead in a rather fortuitous manner. A defensive clearance from the Leverstock Green goalkeeper struck Sam Evans, who had come on as a substitute, and ricocheted into the back of the net.
Just three minutes later, in the 86th minute, Slough Town put the game beyond doubt with a third goal. A deep corner was expertly played back across goal by one of the trialists at the back post, and Dan Bayliss was on hand to nod the ball home.
Full time: Slough Town 3-0 Leverstock Green
Slough now turn their attention to their next pre-season fixture against Potters Bar Town, which will take place at Arbour Park on Saturday afternoon, with a 1pm kickoff. This match will provide another opportunity for Scott’s men to fine-tune their tactics and build on their promising pre-season form.
