Town’s U18s remain top of the Professional Development League Two South table despite losing 4-0 at Sheffield Wednesday yesterday afternoon.

The U23s, who also top their league, are next in action on Monday against Leeds United at Elland Road (KO 7pm).

U18s: Alley, Ruffles, T Smith, Baker, Fehrenbach, Henderson (c), Curtis, Alexander, Brown, Viral, Mesuria. Subs: Bort, Reed, Healey, Cutbush, Oppong.
