TRE PINI - The first friendly match of the new season saw the Pars overcome Zonale outfit Metropolitan Style by 9 goals to 6.
With form and fitness still deemed scrappy and patchy, Dunfermline nonetheless produced a notable performance and were worthy winners.
On top of the announced absentees, both club captain Marletta and forward Rossi ended up missing out on the tie through working duty and a recurrence of a niggling ankle injury respectively.
Gaffer Vanin therefore deployed Semino in goal, with Frassinelli and Merello in defence, while Bovalino took centre stage in midfield, flanked by Finotti and Filippi on the wings and Cantelli playing (and scoring) upfront.
Crosetti was later introduced to replace Frassinelli midway through the game.
The two sides will meet again, this time at San Desiderio, on Wednesday 9th September, ko 10 pm.
