LITTLETON'S new-look team were given a hard introduction into Midland League Division One, going down 6-0 on the 3G pitch at Chelmsley Town.

This continued Littleton's poor run at the venue, never having picked up a point there.

Littleton's best moments of the game came in the first two minutes as two attempts were cleared off the line and from the rebound Sean Cooke smashed his shot against the bar.

Play was pretty even but two free-kicks given away on the edge of the box proved costly.

First on six minutes the 20-yard drive was parried by Joe Gisbourne but Adam Keeley was on hand to tap in the rebound.

Eight minutes later Dom Oliver made it 2-0 scoring direct from the kick.

Then on 29 minutes keeper Gisbourne was sent off for handling outside the box.

Although the 10 men tried hard, goals came at regular intervals with a sum of three in each half and the visitors were pleased to hear the final whistle to pull the curtain down on a dismal start.

Littleton host Lichfield City on Saturday (3pm).
