East Coast were left to rue a slow start and missed opportunities as they fell to a 5-1 defeat at home to Tranmere Victoria.

East Coast were looking to make a winning start at their new Ennerdale Leisure Centre home while Tranmere were looking to bounce back after an opening day defeat.

The home started with and experienced line-up of Ryan Tate, Joao Rodrigues, Jon Prosser, Matty Payne and Danny Horigold, but after a slow start they went behind inside two minutes to a well-organised Tranmere outfit.

Prosser had a chance to level the scores soon after but his effort flew over the bar after a rebounded effort.

The home side were still looking to settle into the game before finding themselves 3-0 down when Tranmere hit a quick fire double in the seventh minute.

Player coach Steve Brennan had a chance to pull one back coming on off the bench when he did well to make space for himself before seeing his shot blocked by the Tranmere goalkeeper.

Just minutes later the visitors added a fourth leading to East Coast calling a time-out.

However, the time-out failed to prevent Tranmere from adding a fifth five minutes before the break.

Rodrigues pulled a goal back for the home side when he turned his marker and fired the ball into the bottom left hand corner in the final minute of the first half.

East Coast came out much improved in the second period and troubled Tranmere with numerous efforts on goal.

Payne was looking threatening but failed to take his chances, coming closest when his left footed drive cannoned back off the up right.

Both sides came close but ultimately neither side added to their tally in what was a hard fought and even second half.

It was a frustrating afternoon for East Coast but the team will look to bounce back when they travel to Liverpool on the 13th November.

Expected to travel to the @Futsal Arena are amongst others new signings Jon Prosser, Matty Payne, plus last years captain Brewster Frizzell & 16 yr old trialist Sam Turner from Scarborough.

Last season saw Birmigham come out 15 v 9 winners, Richard Sneekes scoring 5 for Birmingham and Gerard Ferre 5 for Coast in an entertaining match in Solihull.

Crewsadors beat Team Northumbria 6 v 5 in the playoff game after being 1 v 5 down at one point!

East Coast then take on Tranmere Victoria on the 16th October in the teams first home game. This promises to be an enthralling encounter after the 10 v 7 scoreline in the league las season and then unbelieveable 1 v 1 draw in the FA Futsal Cup.

The team drew 2v2 against Team Northumbria, Hunter & Davis then scorers and then drew with Tranmere Victoria 1 v 1 to lose out on goals scored to Northumbria.  Earlier Northumbria had drawn 2 v 2 against Tranmere.

Coast could have won the Tranmere game in the last 2 minutes, player coach Steve Brennan hit a 30 yrd lob that came back off the bar and Josh Christlow hit wide in the dying seconds when it looked a certain goal.  Nick Van Heerden saved twice also in a pulsating game.  Christlow hit the goal for Coast.

In the final, Northumbria upset Middlesbrough 2 v 1 despite playing with 4 men for 2 minutes and then Boro missed a 10m penalty late on but the Newcastle based team took the honours and automatic qualification into the FA Cup Elite rounds in Birmingham 10th July.
