Jon Lyons took the opportunity to give as many players as possible a run out with the first half seeing a host of new faces starting before more familiar faces took to the field as the game progressed.

As it was it was a combination of the old and the new that gave Heys their win.

Dalton McLaughlin, a summer signing from AFC Monton opened the scoring and also saw a further effort ruled out.

Long serving Martin Love added the second goal for Heys to cap a good work out against a determined Tottington side.

Heys now head to Breightmet on Wednesday night as they begin their defence of the Kenyon Cup, kick off 6.30pm.
