Preston North End began their pre-season schedule with a 3-0 win over Bamber Bridge at the Sir Tom Finney Stadium on Saturday.
For those that arrived early enough to watch the 3-0 win on Saturday, they would have seen the arriving PNE contingent having to make their way through swathes of Lilywhites fans.
Young kids were close enough to shout the players’ names and be heard, rather than a tannoy drowning out every syllable whilst the players jogged onto the surface some 10 or 15 meters away. They did not have much of the ball and, granted, North End could have seen themselves take a lead into half time, but they didn’t. Brig’s dogged defence paid off and they applied themselves manfully.
There was plenty on show for North End despite a bit of a slow start. The first thing to note was the fortunes of Sean Maguire, who limped off after just seven minutes. Scans on Monday will show the severity of the injury but after a summer of work to make sure he was fit to hit the ground running, it will be a bitter blow for the Irishman who was a little goal shy last campaign.
Bennett played alongside trialist Ben Woodburn in the middle of midfield. The Welshman likely would not be a centre midfielder if he was to sign, but with Alan Browne and Ali McCann taking some extra time off after international duty, he did step in and do a job.
