Palace Terriers start of season summary and Cup report.

Shopping is not done, as a right-midfielder and another defender are required to finish the first stage of rebuilding.

Getting into Cup action, Terriers cruised through to the next round with a 7-2 aggregate win over an equally-matched, but uncompetitive opponent. DMC Lyuben Dzhorev's contribution to the away leg was an equalising goal followed by second yellow card, but Terriers fought back from the blow, with right-winger Luca Giovanni Pidutti giving the visitors a 2-1 lead for the 2nd Leg. At home, the improved midfield made a full contribution to a 5-1 win, but it was the forward lines which grabbed the glory, braces for striker Josu Bielsa and Pidutti, with left-winger Hairil Zamri Ahmad Muzafar contributing the other goal.
