Reserves March On

[Alan75]

On the day, Rob Kelly has stepped down as Blackburn's reserve team coach to take up a post as part of Craig Levein's new management team at Leicester City, Rovers reserves continued their unbeaten start to the season with an away win against high flying Birmingham City Reserves.

A goal in the 82 min by David Thompson gave Rovers a 1-0 away win against Birmingham City Reserves last night.

Following a surging run, David Thompson, who was returning from injury, let fly a fierce left foot shot across Vaesen and inside the far post.
