Academy & U21s

[arbitro]

The under 21 team was well beaten by Man City today. City moved the ball around really well whilst we were often ponderous in possession which inevitably led to lots of turnovers in play. That said we were only one down for a long period and did have a couple of chances to equalise. Two quick City goals later in the game out paid to any hopes of getting something from the game although we did pull a goal back with a smart finish from Bell. I didn't think there was any outstanding performers in the day but, as you would expect City had lots quality all over the pitch.

Nobody can have any complaints about the score today as City were superior pretty much all over the pitch.

Rovers under 16's were playing on an adjacent pitch against Villa in what I was told was a cup quarter final. The final score was 3-2 to us I think (trying to watch two games at once is difficult) but the Rovers celebrations at the end confirmed the win.
