COLCHESTER United started the new season with a 1-1 draw at home to Port Vale.
Luke Norris's goal just before half-time cancelled out Tom Pope's opening for Vale, to ensure a share of the spoils on the opening day of the new League Two campaign.
Photographer Steve Brading was on hand to capture all of the action, as John McGreal's side picked up a point.
