The reserves positive start to 2006 continued this evening as they ran out 3-0 winners against Newcastle United at the County Ground.
American forward Johann Smith helped himself to two goals with defender Bradley Hill also managing to get on the scoresheet for the second time in just over a month.
This result will help the Wanderers begin to claw themselves away from the bottom of the FA Premier Reserve League table and the bad run of four or five weeks ago is beginning to be firmly banished into the past.
The two goalkeepers on show where the most experienced of all the players selected on the night as Bolton's Ali Al-Habsi and Newcastle's Tony Caig had clocked up over 250 league games between them.
Hill struck a rather scrappy opener on 50 minutes when firing past Caig from close range following a defensive scramble but it was well deserved as Bolton had pressed throughout the game.
On 78 minutes the second Wanderers goal finally came as the pacy striker Smith beat Magpies defender Liam Atkin to the ball to find the net from just inside the area and this was quickly followed by a Wanderers third some sixty seconds later as the young Connecticut-born flier Smith made good use of a calculated midfield pass by Dale Whitehead to beat Caig once more.
Daryll Smyllie had two late attempts to bring the visitors back into the game but he found Bolton's debutant Al-Habsi in top form as the Oman international made two fine saves.
