North lost at home in the first fixture of the season

Belgreve Wanderers took the first trophy of the season with a 3-1 victory over Northerners in the Frederick Martinez Cup on Tuesday.

The opening match saw Bels, the winners of the Guernsey FA Cup facing the league champions, North.

Bels went ahead as Dave Rihoy netted a goal mouth scramble but North equalised with a goal by Ollie McKenzie.

AJ Saunders put Bels 2-1 up, before North had a goal disallowed for offside and Saunders headed in his second.

Bels assistant coach Leighton Chainey said: "All of the players performed really well, I couldn't fault any of them.

"At times our passing was not that good, but overall I'm really pleased with the way they performed.

"Both teams were missing players, but at the end of the day to win any game against North is pleasing for us," he added.
