LICHFIELD City picked up a pre-season victory against Darlaston Town.

The Trade Tyre Community Stadium side broke the deadlock in the first half with a well-taken finish into the bottom corner.

They then doubled the advantage after a goalkeeping error from a corner saw the ball fired home through a crowded penalty area.

City continued to push in the second half, making it 3-0 with a lobbed finish.

Darlaston did pull a late goal back, but it was little more than a consolation.
