Young U23s Side Beaten at Cardiff
Tuesday, 2nd Feb 2021 14:58
A young Town U23s side fell to a 4-0 defeat away at Cardiff City this afternoon, Isaak Davies scoring twice and Kieron Evans and Roland Idowu once each for the Welshmen.
No senior players were included in the Town U23s, who also have a friendly against Brentford’s B team at Playford Road tomorrow afternoon [which has subsequently been called off]. There is also an in-house game involving first-teamers and also perhaps some of the development squad.
It’s likely regular U23s players such as Armando Dobra, Elkan Baggott, Zak Brown and Tyreece Simpson will be involved in those matches.
