Steven Posted 10 July 2005 Author Posted 10 July 2005 OS on the ball. Kettering Town 0-3 Leicester CityA youthful Leicester City line up registered a 3-0 victory over Conference North outfit Kettering Town on Sunday afternoon. Foxes manager Craig Levein used the opportunity to give a number of young players a run out in the blistering heat at Rockingham Road - plus take a look at three overseas trialists in the process. Richard Stearman and Alan Sheehan were both included in the Leicester starting 11, while former Wycombe Wanderers striker Roy Essandoh made his debut for the home side. City took the lead in the 14th minute of the contest through Ramadani Besnik. The Croatian trialist was left with an easy tap-in after the Kettering goalkeeper had spilled a long-range Louis Dodds shot. The Foxes doubled their advantage eight minutes before the break. James Wesolowski (pictured) played a neat one-two with Chris O'Grady before slotting the ball home from 12-yards. And substitute Ricky Muggleton completed the scoring when he added the third with just three minutes of the game remaining following good work from O'Grady. Kettering's best opportunity of the game came from the penalty spot on the hour mark after a City trialist brought down Poppies striker Matt Peacock inside the box - but Scott Goodwin was only able to drag the spot-kick wide of the target. The senior Leicester squad will now spend Monday at the Loughborough University training complex before jetting off for a two-game tour of Norway the following day. City: Logan, Stearman, Sheehan (Franklin 83), Wesolowski, Trialist, Trialist (Smedley 65), Dodds, Wright (Graham 47), O'Grady, Besnik (trialist) (Wykes 65), Porter (Muggleton 75). Subs not used: Norvall.

brookfox Posted 10 July 2005 Posted 10 July 2005 Just got back. Prettyy boring game to be fair but we won and it was probably too hot for running around. Bara was one trialist at CB, didn't look very convincing to be honest. The other trialist played CB and I'm sure I heard Logan call him Jacob, so I don't know if we've actually got Timpano on trial. If it was him I'd be dissapointed as he also had an average at best game. The other trialist was up front, scored a tap in after a keeper fumble and looked ok. Stearman and Wesolowski were our best two players. I was also dissapointed with Sheehan who gave the ball away far too often. But at the end of the day it's the first game of the pre-season, we won and it would have been a goodwork out.
