Town’s U18s were beaten 3-1 by 10-man Sheffield United in their Professional Development League Two South opener at the Blades’ academy on Saturday morning.

Jevan Beattie gave the home side the lead on 20 but soon afterwards the home side were reduced to 10 men when keeper Ben Grainger handled outside the area.

Despite the disparity in numbers, the Blades added two more goals after the break through Lamine Sidibe and Theo Howard before Revin Domi pulled one back for the Blues.

NITFC added 12:31 - Aug 12 Link boy. I completely agree. It's great to have the funds for big signings but there seems to be absolutely nothing coming through from the academy. Even Chelsea and the two Manchester clubs are developing their own talent these days but we've had nothing since Woolfie and that's a concern for me
