On-loan midfielder Kundai Benyu scored both goals as Aldershot Town won 2-0 away against Solihull Moors in the Vanarama National League.

The 19-year-old, whose stint with the Shots was extended to the end of the season earlier in the week with the Blues able to recall him at 24 hours’ notice, netted in the 27th and 61st minutes as his fifth-placed loan club continued their play-off push.

Benyu, who is to be given a new contract by the Blues, has now scored four goals since joining the Hampshire club in December.

Good 2-0 away win, happy to score both. Fans were brilliant as usual! pic.twitter.com/inSOUmzRjS– Kundai Benyu (@kundaibenyu_) April 1, 2017

Elsewhere, striker Shane McLoughlin made his first senior start for his loan club Bromley as they lost 1-0 away against leaders Lincoln.

Defender Joe Robinson was in the St Albans City team which drew 0-0 away against Hungerford in the National League South.

OwainG1992 added 20:45 - Apr 1 I know it's non league and we are in a scrap at the bottom. But surely players like him dozzell Josh Emmanuel kenlock etc need to getting more or at least something of a chance.

midastouch added 22:38 - Apr 1 How can Benyu not be a better option already than Skuse or Douglas?

Mark added 23:13 - Apr 1 How far away from our first team is Benyu? After having watched such a poor midfield performance (again) today, it's tempting to think this goalscoring 19 year old would be a better option than the likes of Bru and Douglas.

jas0999 added 00:04 - Apr 2 When we secure safety, surely worth giving this lad a try?

lightingblue added 07:27 - Apr 2 I met this lad in pre-season against Coggeshall. Played really well and a really nice lad. Spent time with my 8 year giving him advice and a bit of a kick about. His giving dozzell a run for his money as his favourite player after that.

midastouch added 12:49 - Apr 2 How many goals do you reckon Skuse or Douglas would score in that league? I'd honestly be surprised if they got any! Benyu seems to be tearing it up! If he's left to rot on the bench next season behind the likes of Skuse then it's just further madness! Get rid of McCarthy, put Nash in temporary charge while we work out what forward thinking manager can take us forward next season!

Lathers added 18:09 - Apr 2 Joe Royle would have blooded this lad by now, along with Dozza and the other youngsters. MM hires and plays experienced, average, technically limited players because it suits his style. Be competitive, dull, unimaginative but grind out a result. That worked for us for a while but the direction has to change now, it's clear we are heading towards League One, this or next season. Evans and Mick have both proved they have one way to gain success...that hasn't worked and there's no Plan B. Once/if we are safe play the kids ffs.

Seasider added 17:25 - Apr 3 See that Mr McCarthy,in his wisdom,has said Benyu isn't coming back,why not ? Have not read what he has said about it yet;but wouldn't be surprised if Micks mom(not his mum)Dougie gets to play in Skuse' place.Hope the Dino surprises us,and leaves him on the bench;as sure that after that magnificent display he will be around the squad for the visit of the mighty Wigan!
