Blues boss Steve Charles named an unchanged starting eleven, with new signing Trevor Benjamin on the bench.

It was Trinity, backed by vocal away support, who started the better, and this pressure soon told when Matt Austin fired the blues ahead with a well-taken volley from 10 yards out.

Austin turned the ball in after Colin Marrison flicked on Louis McMahon's corner.

It was McMahon who doubled the visitors' advantage on 20 minutes, curling a spectacular free kick into the top right hand corner from out on the left hand side, to leave Adam Rachel rooted to the spot in the Solihull goal.

The hosts were given a way back into the game when Martin Drury brought down Junior English in the box.

Solihull's Darren Middleton stepped up and put his first attempt wide, only for the referee to order a retake.
This was superbly saved by Adam Sollitt, down to his left.

However, Trinity failed to deal with the resulting corner, as Jake Edwards headed in off the bar at the near post.

The second half began as Trinity made a nervy start, but did manage to create a half chance for Chris Hall, whose powerful shot was blocked. On 55 minutes, the noisy away fans had a new hero to cheer, as Jamaican international Benjamin was introduced.

The former Leicester City hitman was soon causing problems for the Solihull back four, and these problems allowed Trinity to add a third.
Benjamin and James Lukic met another McMahon corner at the front post, and the former Matlock captain squeezed the ball in on 71 minutes.

This should have allowed the Blues to close out the game, but another Jake Edwards goal on 79 ensured a nervy final ten minutes. Edwards took his chance well.

A long cross was watched by a static Blues defence who waited for an assistant's flag that never came. When the ball dropped, Edwards made no mistake with the finish.

The game became a lot more open in the final ten minutes, as the home side pushed for an equaliser, which allowed Trinity's pacy midfield to counter.

Hall had another shot well saved, and the impressive Benjamin played Marrison in behind the Moors defence, only for Marrison to fire straight at Rachel.

Benjamin showed some good touches, which should encourage everyone at the club, while the ever impressive Nick Ellis and Lukic managed to marshal the visiting Blues through to the full time whistle.

After the game, manager Steve Charles reflected on the game.

"A win hides a multitude of sins, so we have got a lot to work on this week," he said.

"We're looking to pick up a bit more from set pieces, Louis McMahon hit a good free-kick into the right area, and a good goal for Lukic, and it is nice to see us get one from a set piece."

"The two goals are disappointing - the first after Adam Sollitt has made a great save from the penalty, we've switched off, and the second, we got sucked under the ball, let the lad in and we've got to do better than that."
