Staines Town landed a pre-season scalp as they ran out 3-2 winners over Brentford in front of a crowd of 700 at Wheatsheaf Park last night, writes Stuart Moore.

Swans manager Steve Cordery introduced new signing Warren Harris, snapped up from neighbours Ashford Town (Middx) ahead of the match, while Bees boss Andy Scott fielded a new side featuring plenty of familiar Griffin Park favourites.

Brentford’s former Watford custodian Richard Lee was beaten inside the first five minutes.

But Bees levelled eight minutes later when Michael Spillane rose majestically to head home Sam Saunders’ corner.

Swans were soon back in front when Leroy Griffiths’ corner was floated deep to the back post for Marien Ifura to head back across goal and in at the far post.

The match was held up for 10 minutes when Bees teenager Jack Ward suffered a suspected broken leg after falling awkwardly.

When the game resumed, Griffiths was unlucky when his low drilled sstrike smacked off the foot of the post with Lee beaten.

Staines netted a deserved third goal midway through the second period when the effervescent Griffiths looped a clever finish over the head of Lee and his defenders after the striker had pounced on a mistake at the back.

It was only in the last quarter of an hour that Bees started to grab a hold of the game, Staines having made seven changes.

Swans boss Steve Cordery said: “We played some good stuff.
