Gateshead rounded off their 2024/25 pre-season campaign with a six-goal win over Farsley Celtic at Gateshead International Stadium.
A trio from two trialists put The Heed three up at the halfway point before trialist 16 added another for his hat-trick in the second 45, with additional goals from Greg Olley and Owen Oseni adding sheen to the final scoreline of pre-season.
Rob Elliot handed three trialists an opportunity to impress as he set his side up for the final time before the National League opener on August 10, with Tyrelle Newton joining the starting 11 for the first time since his official unveiling as a Gateshead player on Friday.
Trialist 16 took his chance as early as seven minutes in to put Gateshead in front, nodding home Olley’s cross at the back post from close range.
The forward could have had a second to his name had it not been for a fine one-on-one save from Farsley’s trialist goalkeeper, while at the other end Tiernan Brooks did just the same to keep the visitors at bay.
Former Heed midfielder Danny Greenfield sent two efforts wide for Farsley midway through the half, before the visiting goalkeeper kept the score at one again as he produced a flying save from Newton’s goal-bound effort.
A quick double from the two trialists up front in black and white made it three with 35 minutes gone however, with number 47 capitalising from close range first before number 16 found his second two minutes later.
The latter was denied a hat-trick before the half-time whistle when Farsley’s goalkeeper again denied him from close range, but Olley would grab a fourth three minutes after the restart when he side-footed home from 15 yards.
Trialist 16 capitalised on a mistake at the back to seal his hat-trick with 53 minutes on the clock, netting Gateshead’s fifth, before Oseni struck with one minute to go to cap off a fine final pre-season performance.
