Town’s U18s’ unbeaten run came to an abrupt halt as they were defeated 5-1 by Sheffield Wednesday at Playford Road this morning, however, the young Blues remain top of Professional Development League Two South.

Matt Ward scored Town’s goal to bring the score to 2-1 midway through the second half but the visitors netted three more times.

The side coached by Adem Atay and Jason Dozzell, which was missing a number of its regulars, had been unbeaten in nine - eight wins and a draw - stretching back to October. They remain top of the table but with their lead down to two points.

Stewart, 18, a second-year scholar, joined the Blues from Linfield in the summer of 2019.

U18s: Ridd, Agbaje, Stephenson, Stewart, Bradshaw, Knock (Hoque 75), Cutbush, Chirewa, Bareck (Osbourne 57), Bello (Nwabueze 71), Ward. Unused: Bort, Moodie.
