Jackson also grabbed four in his previous Morda outing
An away day to Llansanffraid Reserves was a great fixture to begin to new era with. And after five minutes Morda were in dream land thanks to a five minute hat-trick from Ollie Jackson.
Ffraid pegged them back to 3-2 at the break, however Jackson added another to complete an historic return to the Welsh system.
And speaking on Monday morning, Jackson described it as a dream start.
He said: "It was an amazing to get four goals on another Morda debut.
"There was so much energy in the changing rooms before and every was buzzing for it.
"And you could see that as soon as we got on the pitch.
"We won everything in the first half hour and luckily for me everything I hit went in.
"If only we had the fitness to carry it through the game, however that is what we need to work on and if we do we will have a really strong team."
Jackson has played for both Morda first team and reserves in the past, but he admitted going into this season he didn't see himself playing for anyone.
He said: "I didn't expect to be playing for anyone this season at all.
"However when I had the text off Matty Owen about the club potentially folding and that he wanted me back at Morda with a host of other people, I couldn't resist."
All the players on show had played for Morda in the past and Jackson has given credit to Matty and Morda stalwart Colin Turner for getting the side up and running once more.
He said: "The team is made up of all players who have played together somewhere along the line.
"And all credit to Matty and Col for getting the lads there.
"Everyone is there for the same reason, to turn up on a Saturday, have a game of football with their mates and enjoy it, win, lose or draw.
"At this level I think that is what local football is really about.
"There is a lot of quality throughout the team and it bodes well for a really good season."
The Morda fixture was one of only three I got right in my weekend predictions, so I need to get improving on them!
In other results locally, The New Saints demolished GAP Connah's Quay 5-1 thanks to a double from Greg Draper.
Llansanffraid Village came away 2-1 winners against Berriew in the Spar Mid Wales League with Four Crosses sharing the spoils with Bow Street.
Guilsfield picked up an impressive 1-0 home win over Denbigh Town with Gareth Jones' volley settling the matter.
Oswestry Town beat Ketley Bank Utd 4-1 away (had a shocker there).
St Martin's Village lost 6-4 in a thriller against Stoke Heath Prison and Gobowen Celtic thrashed Shifnal Harriers 8-2.
I will be back next week with some more fixtures, hopefully more right that wrong next time.
