Academy round-up - Town U18s suffer Premier League 2 defeat

The young Blues, who are under new lead coach Mark Robinson and assistant Jimmy Smith, included England U16 international Zac Wattley in their starting XI, who made his debut for the U18s in March this year, at the age of just 14.

They went behind in the sixth minute when Nathaniel Ogungbemi opened the scoring for the Bees, who had to wait until the closing stages of the game to add to their lead.
