Preston kicked off their pre-season preparations in style with a thumping 11-0 triumph over Austrian hosts Hallein.

North End were 4-0 to the good at the break against their part-time opposition before rattling in another seven after the restart to cap an impressive end to their European training camp.

Chris Brown grabbed a hat-trick while Danny Mayor and Jon Parkin both claimed braces.

Neil Mellor, Barry Nicholson, Neal Trotman and Karl Hawley also got in on the act in a game in which manager Alan Irvine opted to run the rule over almost two different teams.
