Irish U18 international striker Ronan Murray hit a hat-trick and midfielder Billy Clark netted once as Town's U18s defeated Fulham 4-2 at Playford Road on Saturday morning.

It's been a good week for Murray, who hit the winner from the spot in the 1-0 FA Youth Cup third round victory over Shrewsbury on Tuesday.

The U18s were without keeper Lewis Ward against Fulham after the former Arsenal schoolboy picked up an injury in the Youth Cup match. U16s keeper Will Fuller deputised.

Town's U16s also faced the Cottagers on Saturday but lost 4-1.

U18s: Fuller, Watson, Clemo, Daniels, Ainsley, Eastman, Lambe, Griffiths (Cawley), Murray, Wickham and Clark. Unused: Dunbar, Brandon and Ralph.
