Town’s U18s beat Southwold 5-0 in the 20th staging of their annual friendly on the Common.

Trialist left-back Steph Bombelenga put the young Blues in front and striker Ben Morris made it 2-0 at half-time.

Town switched the entire XI at the break and Northern Irish U17 international Conor McKendry, like Morris one of this summer's new full-time scholars, Nick Ingram and Dan Muamba added to the goals.

The U18s also have confirmed home friendlies at Playford Road against Cambridge United on Saturday 18th July and Leyton Orient on Saturday 25th July (both 11am).

U18s first half: Hayes, Daly, Fowler, Robinson, Bombelenga, Morris, Benyu, Hanson, Dozzell, Ford, Ramadan.

U18s second half: Wright, Cole, Cathline, Woolfenden, Jones, Muamba, Meldrum, Maynard, McKendry; Fullwood, Folami (Ingram).

NoCanariesAllowed added 20:33 - Jul 9 20th staging? Blimey. Makes me curious to know who was in the first - and indeed whether any of them are still playing. Some homework for you there, Phil... :)

PhilTWTD added 21:05 - Jul 9 I think Kieron Dyer played in one of the first. Richard Wright perhaps, which would be notable as his son was in goal for the second half this evening. Report amended incidentally, first goal scored by a trialist not Benyu as initially stated.
