Dicko Off The Mark In Victory

Barnsley got their first victory in pre-season today with a comfortable 3-0 win over Walsall in a behind closed doors friendly.

Andy Gray, new signing Liam Dickinson and Martin Devaney grabbed the goals in a game where most first team players got match time.

The first open friendly that The Reds will play is next Tuesday when they travel to York City.

Meanwhile Barnsley Football Club have confirmed that vuvuzelas will NOT be allowed in Oakwell next season. The loud horns shot to prominence in the World Cup this summer with many fans acquiring one in the hope they could catch on in England. But Barnsley, along with a host of clubs across the country have moved to ban the vuvuzelas for the forthcoming 2010-2011 campaign.
