Match Report:
An understandably unorganised first half with four new players being trialled. Gary Needham slotting in a rebound just before half-time to reduce the deficit. Albury lead 2-1 at half-time.

A much better second-half with some of the new boys showing their worth. However, New Town had Barry Watkins to thank after the striker scored two spectacular goals to salvage a draw. Barry's first was a 20-yard toe-poke that bent into the top corner and the second was a thumping volley from outside the area.

Match Report:
A game played in the right spirit that was very evenly balanced. Laurence Miles grabbed New Town's only goal by reacting to a loose ball from a corner to smash the ball home. However, the highlights from this game will be two extraordinary misses from the usually clinical Barry Watkins. The first was a header from under the cross-bar that seems to go away from the goal and the second was an open goal miss after rounding the goalkeeper and shooting over the bar.

Match Report:
New Town started the game with just nine men and were increased to ten men after 20 minutes. However, you would've been forgiven for thinking it was the other way round. Some good interplay and determination saw New Town come out on top in this friendly, and in some style. The highlights were two top-drawer goals from Mark Bellworthy and Laurence Miles. Bellworthy's second of the game came from chesting down and unleashing a dipping volley from just outside the area. And Miles picked up the ball after some quick passing, skipped past two challenges and fired an unstoppable shot from 20-yards.
