Trialist Bilel Mohsni was amongst the players on target as Town’s U21s thrashed Cardiff 6-0 at Playford Road this lunchtime. The Southend man slammed in the third from 30 yards in the second half, Ronan Murray, Kyle Hammond, David October, Mark Timlin and Jack Marriott netting the other goals.
Kevin Bru and David McGoldrick - from the penalty spot - twice gave the Blues the lead at Colchester but the U’s ran out 3-2 victors in the now-annual friendly at the Weston Homes Community Stadium. For the home side, Alex Gilbey scored twice and Gavin Massey a late, late winner.
