City continued their recent good form with an eventful 3-3 draw at St Andrews last weekend against Birmingham City.
The Tigers found themselves 2-0 down at half time, courtesy of some horror defending which was a bit late for Halloween. However, a spirited second half performance saw City lead 3-2 going into the final few minutes of the game thanks to two goals from the inform Fraizer Campbell and a spectacular free kick from Kamil Grosicki.
However, unfortunately City defensive blunders hadn’t finished for the day and another mistake saw Birmingham snatch a point late on. At 2-0 down it was a point gained however there will have been some what ifs we are sure amongst the City players on the coach back.
Here’s your update from the trust this week…

Funds available for Local Youth Football teams.
Do You (or someone you know) run a Hull Boys Sunday Football team or an East Riding Girls Team?
The collapse of the Wembley sale might result in no extra funds going to grass roots football, but don’t worry – funding is available locally.
Several years ago, the then Tigers Co-Operative, now Hull City Supporters Trust, donated £6,000 to support local youth football teams.

Development Review
It has been a busy and rewarding week for the Development sides.
Last Saturday the under 18 side took on Nottingham Forrest at Bishop Burton. Thanks to goals from Jacob Greaves and Dan Hawkins they ended up 2-1 winners.
Monday evening saw the under 23 side in action against Oxford United in the Premier League Cup at the Roy West Centre. First teamer Kevin Stewart had a much-needed run out in what ended a 2-1 victory thanks to a goal in each half by the in-form Keane Lewis-Potter. They are in action at the Roy West centre again this Monday evening when they take on Crewe Alexandre in the Professional Development League.
On Thursday night a combined Development Side begin their defence of the East Riding Senior Cup against Humber Premier League side Hessle Rangers at Bishop Burton. Hessle Rangers did well to limit them to a single first half goal from Jacob Greaves. In the second half City took control early on with goals from Callum Smith, Tom Powell (2) and Dan Hawkins resulting in a comfortable 5-0 victory.

WineOn-Line, the new boys on the block. Here at Wine Online we are specialists in buying and selling superb, different and interesting wines. We believe that wine should be fun whether you’re buying or selling it but most importantly when you’re drinking it. Although there are plenty of places where you can buy decent wine we like to go the extra mile to find special wines that not only taste good and look good, but also have that extra quality to set them aside from the others. We love to share our knowledge with people when we recommend a wine and to allow you the customer to experience experimenting with wines. Our philosophy is very much that the hard work starts, rather than finishes, when the wine has been delivered. We are continually looking forward to the next opportunity; tomorrow, next month, next year. The thinking cap never comes off and the challenges never cease.
