Andrejs Rubins scored

A Crystal Palace XI ran out 4-1 victors away to Woking, in their latest pre-season friendly.

New signing from Portsmouth Shaun Derry made his debut, while Dele Adebola, Andy Johnson (twice) and Andrejs Rubins got the goals.

Former Eagle Chris Sharpling got a consolation for Woking in the last minute.

Tommy Black and Rubins will be pushing for first team call-ups after putting in good perfromances.

Also, the pairing of Johnson and Adebola was pretty effective and augurs well for the start of the season.

Palace: Kolinko, Hunt, Antwi, Berhalter, Frampton, Black, Derry, Rubins, Riihilahti, Adebola, Johnson.

Subs: Kabba, Wiliams, Surey.

The reserves thrashed Whyteleafe 10-1 on Tuesday night. Among the goalscorers were: Gareth Williams (two), Stephen Kabba hat-trick, Ben Watson free-kick and an own goal. We lost count with the rest!
