Two goals from Jonathan Forte sealed a 2-1 win at Bottersford Town on Saturday.
And although the second-half performance from the Iron was a bit disjointed, Adkins felt it was a good runout to help build up match fitness.
"A lot of players managed to get 45 minutes of football and that was the intention for us," he told the official website.
"I was pleased with the way the first-half went, but felt the players needed to get a bit more up to speed in the second."
