Caister were without Nicky Crawley and also decided to use the competition to gives starts to Barrett and Bevan who both impressed. Along with a bench of Hack, Rowley and Fitzgerald this showed the strength of the squad.
The opening goal came on 15 minutes, Anton Ward slipped a neat through ball to his brother Garrett who rounded a defender before being brought down in the penalty box and the referee pointed straight to the spot. Anton picked up the ball and sent the keeper the wrong way. to score
Dean Macgregor joined the attack from right back and grabbed his first of the season by over lapping down the flank and smashing home a low drive across the Hindringham keeper.
Caister’s deserved lead was then threatened by some long-range efforts from the Hindringham attackers and Chris Hollis produced two flying saves to amazingly deny them.
Caister added a third on 35 minutes when Garrett Ward broke through and unselfishly squared for Tom Bevan who was starting his first game in senior football.
