Reco Fyfe and Gregg Smith goals ensured the Holy Blues got off to a perfect start in the league.

But Woodhouse expects Gainsborough to raise the bar further in the coming weeks.

“I see it all the time in training and I know there is so much more we can get better at,” he said.

“It's a new group and there's more to come. We were solid without being dramatic and we looked pretty well-oiled.

“Result wise I am delighted, performance wise, there is more to come from us.

“I felt we had harsh criticism from some fans in pre-season due to results. It was frustrating knowing all the hard work we are doing behind the scenes.

“When it counts it counts and today is when it counted.

“ Pre-season matters with how you set the team up, but it's not about the results.

“You are making changes to manage situations not change the results.

“We were working towards S ept 19 and the fitness levels were sky hgh and we were excellent in the first half.

“We have had a long training camp and we were ready when we had to be ready.”

Reco Fyfe opened the scoring on 22 minutes after a good link-up with Lewis Collins.

Matty Dixon then saw a rasping effort from distance tipped over the bar, before Smith saw his header cleared off the line from the resulting corner.

Fyfe and Collins combined again to tee up Smith for a second goal on 66 minutes as Trinity wrapped up the points.

It was a goal which left the Trinity boss pleased.

“They had a ten minute spell in the second half between 50-60 mins where they put us under pressure,” he said.

“The most pleasing thing for me was that ten min spell where we showed we could soak up pressure.

“Our goalkeeper made good saves when he needed to and then hit them on the break.

"Fyfe is great to work with and there is so much more to come from him.

"He’s played all over the place at other teams, we want him down the middle where he can hurt teams. I’m delighted he got his goal and I thought he was excellent.”
