Speaking to htafc.com, Pearson was quick to comment on how he was feeling post-match.
“We’ve had a good couple of weeks back and it’s nice to get back out there playing football.
“I’ve missed it especially with being injured.
“It’s nice to get on the shirt and get back playing.”

“The squad’s building nicely, we’ve got plenty of players.
“Looking out their today, a few of the lads are looking sharp and that’s what we want.”
The game featured several B Team players, including Brahima Diarra, Brodie Spencer, and Danny Grant. Some new faces for fans to get used to, Pearson was impressed with what he saw.
“We’ve got some great young players.
“Danny Grant – I think he played well today.
“In the first half there were a few young lads that did well as well.
“We’ve got a great group of lads and the right mix of senior and youth.”
Reflecting on the result, the 28-year-old said that although he’s pleased with the win, he’s always looking for perfection.
“I’m more concerned about conceding one goal!
“We’ll have a look and review and see what we can do better.”
