Two goals in the last 14 minutes saw Wigan’s U21s claim a 2-2 draw with their Town counterparts at Playford Road over lunchtime.
Tudor Mendel (pictured) gave the Blues the lead in the 25th minute from a Tommy Taylor pass.
Taylor came close to making it 2-0 when he hit the woodwork but Town would have to wait until nine minutes after the restart to add to their lead, central defender Fraser Heard heading home from a free-kick.
But Harrison Bettoni pulled one back for the Latics on 76, then Cole Simms equalised four minutes later.
Town included trialist midfielder Albie O’Keefe, who is currently with Stevenage, from the start and Anayo Etumnu, who is with the London-based Kinetic Academy, from the bench.
