Fin Barbrook scored the only goal as Town’s U23s beat Coggeshall 1-0 at West Street in their opening pre-season friendly.

Barbrook netted just before half-time to see John McGreal’s side to victory with keeper Joe Rose, one of numerous half-time subs, who was with the Norwich academy last season, saving a second-half Coggeshall penalty.

Among the trialists was Callum Chesworth, who was with Isthmian League South East Division Three Bridges last season, having previously been with YMCA (Horsham) and prior to that the Chelsea Academy Foundation.

U23s: Ridd (Rose 46), Agbaje (Trialist 46), Hudson (H Barbrook 46), Alexander, (Haddoch 46) Stewart (Kabongolo 46), Armin (Bradshaw 46), Siziba (Stewart, F Barbrook, Buabo (Boatswain 46), Page (Trialist 46), Nwabueze (Buabo).

PhilTWTD added 23:36 - Jul 6 Unlikely to be potential first-teamers, will be looked at for the U23s or U18s.
