Blue Star have made a very promising start with their pre-season campaign, winning the majority of their games comfortably. One thing that has been confirmed from these matches is that Blue Star football team houses a lot of young, ambitious talent that are hungry for success.

The last fixture saw the start of Blue Stars historic move to Kingston Park, and in a dramatic fashion Blue Star took on none other than a strong Newcastle United side featuring toon favourites Owen, Dyer, Ameobi, and new boy Cacapa. Blue Star put in a huge performance and were very unlucky not to get on the scoreboard - even been denied by the cross bar on one occasion.

However, their solid playing ability didn't go un-noticed, impressing many people including Uniteds Shola Ameobi who later told The Chronicle "Blue Star equipped themselves very well and they were hard to break down. I didn't think it would be as tough as it was, but it just shows you it is a big game for these lads. They did themselves proud and good luck to them for the new season."

Blue Star gave the whole squad a run out, which proved the strength and depth of the team. Director of football Bob Morton then summed up the night nicely "It was a great night and sets us up nicely for the UniBond League. We had a good crowd of 3,600 here at Kingston Park and although a lot of them turned up to see Michael Owen, they know now that there is an ambitous non-league club here. And during the season we look forward to welcoming them back."
