Holyhead Hotspur 0

Wolves X1 7 (Rosa 23, Hughes 44,46, 72, Jones 75, Riley 77, Ijaha 85)

A Wolves side featuring five first team players proved too strong for League of Wales side Holyhead Hotspur.

The Anglesey team were celebrating the redevelopment of their stadium but Wolves, featuring the likes of Mark Little, Jamie Clapham, Denes Rosa, Daniel Jones and Jemal Johnson treated the match as anything other than a party occasion.

Rosa opened the scoring on 23 minutes and Wolves went on to put six more past the Welshmen for no reply - including a hat-trick for Liam Hughes.

"It was a very professional performance from our players, especially after such a long journey," says coach John Perkins.

"Once we opened the scoring we went on to take full control over the game and showed good technique.

"But, despite the scoreline, it was still a very useful exercise for us. It's all about getting match fitness at this stage of pre-season and the players will have benefited from the game.

"It was also great experience for some of our younger lads to be playing alongside senior professionals like Clapham. They will have learned a lot today from the way he applied himself to the job.

"It was a big day for Holyhead and an enjoyable occasion for everyone attending."

Clapham took a return pass from Matthew Bailey before finding Rosa who converted from close range for the first goal.

Then, a minute before the break, Liam Hughes made it two with a confident finish after a good run and centre from Jemal Johnson.

Shortly after the restart Hughes struck again, rounding the keeper after taking a through pass from Rosa.

On 72 minutes Hughes completed his hat-trick with a bullet header from a Danial Jones corner and Jones got onto the scoresheet himself three minutes later with a thumping shot from 22-yards.

Martin Riley ghosted in on the blind side and hit a low shot into the net to make it 6-0 after another Jones corner before David Ijaha rounded off the scoring five minutes from the end after Clapham had set up the chance.
