Cormac Burke, Damien Delaney, Nathan Ellington and Jack Marriott were the scorers as a Town reserves side beat Leyton Orient 4-1 in a behind-closed-doors friendly at Playford Road this afternoon.

New signing Ryan Stevenson made his first appearance for a Town team in a side which also included Jimmy Bullard and loan keeper Alex McCarthy.

Burke put the Blues in front from close range, then Delaney headed in the second before the break. The O’s pulled on back shortly after the restart but Ellington converted Burke’s cross and sub Marriott added the final goal three minutes from the end.

Reserves: McCarthy, Peters, Ainsley, Delaney, Whight, Carson, Leadbitter, Bullard, Burke, Stevenson, Ellington.

jas0999 added 17:57 - Feb 8 Ellington and Bullard are better suited to reserve team football as nowhere near good enough for the first team. Still can't understand why Carson is not even on our first team bench though.
