Youth team lose again

Last updated : 19 October 2004 By Al Campbell
The Reds are currently bottom of the league and have yet to win two successive games. Saturday's defeat was their sixth of the season, having played only nine games.

Youth team manager John Owens said: "Our play wasn't as good as it should have been and we lost a goal in either half.
 
"The first goal was crucial in the match. James Smith left the pitch with an injury but I delayed making a substitution because we thought he might come back on. They scored and then it was obvious he couldn't come on.
 
"James had an X-ray and fortunately the ankle wasn't broken and it was just bruising to his shin."
