This evening a Walsall XI cruised to a 4-0 victory against Chasetown at The Scholars Ground.
Trialist Zac Thompson was part of the Walsall XI along with an unnamed centre half rumoured to be Spanish.
The saddlers started brightly with Kieron Morris and Amadou Bakayoko linking up well, which saw the former stab an effort just wide.
Danny Edwards came close to putting Chasetown ahead on the twelfth minute but he stabbed an effort wide of Liam Roberts goal.
The Saddlers took the lead on twenty minutes when Kieron Morris fizzed a shot twenty yards out and into the bottom left corner, not much the Chasetown keeper could do.
Moments later the Saddlers nearly had a second where a great one-two between Levi Rowley and Jordan Murphy saw the former flash one wide.
In the twenty ninth minute trialist Zac Thompson unleashed an unstoppable twenty five yard volley into the top corner. Chasetown keeper couldn’t get anywhere near it.
