A Town U21s side featuring Harry Clarke, Cameron Humphreys and Fin Barbrook beat their Liverpool counterparts 3-2 at Playford Road this afternoon.

Clarke, returning from a knee injury, started at right-back and played the first half with Humphreys, back after a spell out with a calf problem, and Barbrook, who is on loan at Lincoln but has only featured once in the EFL Trophy so far, in midfield.

Somto Boniface gave the Blues the lead on 23, before Tudor Mendel made it 2-0 five minutes before half-time.

The Reds came back into it in the second half, Keyrol Figueroa and a Leon Elliott own goal putting them back on terms, but defender Corbin Mthunzi won it for John McGreal and Chris Casement’s team in the 84th minute.

The result took the Blues back to the top of Premier League 2 briefly with Manchester United returning to the summit later in the day following their 4-1 victory over Crystal Palace.

Town: Williamson, Clarke (Elliott 46), Boniface, Mthunzi, Onuchukwu, Humphreys, Mendel, Barbrook, Boatswain (Mauge 73), Carr (c), Ayinde (Heard 73). Unused: Barrett, L Fletcher.

Linkboy13 added 15:46 - Sep 29 No Baggott is he on loan. Good to see Harry back would luv to see him be a success at Ipswich but Furlong looks a much better defensive player. I think Harry would be more suited to a central defensive role where he wouldn't be exposed to one on one situation's so much. Humphreys is a very good footballer but possibly lacking a bit physically otherwise im sure he would be getting more game time.
