U17s Lose to Colchester Saturday, 4th May 2013 18:13
A Byron Lawrence penalty couldn t prevent a Town U17 side from losing 3-1 at home to Colchester in a friendly on Saturday morning.
The Essex side took a fourth minute lead when Macauley Bonne laid the ball into the path of Jack Curtis, who lifted the ball over Michael Crowe and into the net.
Colchester s front pairing linked up three minutes later to double their lead, Bonne flicked on a long ball and Curtis calmly side-footed past the advancing Crowe.
The U s scored a third after 13 minutes when a lucky break allowed captain Sam Szmodics to round Crowe and tuck the ball into an empty net from a tight angle.
