After the mare of the western supermare friendly being cancelled, the boys drew 1-1 with an almost full strength Cardiff side consisting of the like of etheridge, madine, reid, morrison et al.
The new signings are doing really well, especially the former bristol rovers stopper smith and the defensive rock and reading legend matt mills.
Unconfirmed reports that a former or current Reading superstar was on trial have been heard on the grapevine at this game aswell, although reports are that he is looking elsewhere and may have an offer on the table from a team!!!
Report:
"Shawn McCoulsky was on target as Forest Green Rovers got their pre-season under way with a 1-1 draw in a behind-closed-door friendly with Cardiff City.
McCoulsky scored from the penalty spot shortly into the second half to give Rovers the lead before Gary Madine levelled with 20 minutes left.
As part of the club’s training camp at Woodbury Park, Devon, and with the late cancellation of the friendly with Weston-super-Mare, Forest Green played their first game of the summer.
Their side included new signings Adam Smith, Matt Mills, Liam Kitching, Ebou Adams, James Morton, Kevin Dawson and Aaron Collins, while there were also two unnamed trialists involved."
