Three goals scored without reply, gave the Holy Blues the dream start to the season, with ex Tiger Jack Dyche opening the scoring inside eleven seconds, before further goals were added, by skipper Andrew Wright from the spot and veteran Clayton Donaldson. With Trinity looking to build on the excellent start away from home, the management will be sure to keep the players feet firmly on the ground, and to remain humble. Hard work and togetherness earned the side three deserved points, and with that performance set the bar for future performances in the league.
Speaking in his programme notes ahead of the Hyde game, boss Bishop was in bullish mood as he explained, "I loved proving people wrong. It’s what motivated me and when I see some of the predictions for this season it just serves as extra motivation. Like any season, this one will have highs and lows, but as long as we stay together, back each other in the low moments as well through the highs, we will be more than fine."
Opposition: Hyde United, of Greater Manchester, were founded in 1919 and briefly changed their name as part of a sponsorship deal with Manchester City, who didn't want the United name associated with them! Fixtures between the two sides have been tight over the years, and this one again is likely to be a tough test as Bishop and Parkinson's young side face off against 
Nick Spooners' Tigers team.
Played for Both: Other players to have featured for both clubs include Kingsley James and goalkeeper, Joe Green. Since leaving Tameside, Kingsley has gone on to be Assistant Manager at York City, while Joe left the Tigers in the summer. In the Hyde squad on Tuesday, you can expect to see former three time Holy Blues' forward Curtis Morrison. He was a late substitute as Hyde came back from a goal down to secure a point at home to Radcliffe at the weekend, Jack Redshaw grabbing his first for Hyde in the process.
