Colchester United continued their pre-season preparations with a deserved 1-0 victory over Ipswich Town in a behind-closed-doors friendly at Playford Road.
With a youthful side featuring several trialists and academy players, the U’s delivered a composed and spirited performance, securing the win thanks to a first-half penalty from Arthur Read.
The U’s lined up with Tom Smith in goal behind a central defensive pairing of Frankie Terry and Frankie Edwards, with Kane Vincent-Young on the left and Trialist A at right back. Arthur Read and Ronnie Harvey anchored the midfield, while Trialists B and JK Gordon flanked Trialist C in support of Samson Tovide up top.
League Cup - Group Stage - Group D Forfar Athletic 1-2 St. Mirren
St Mirren got their Premier Sports Cup campaign back on track with a hard-fought win over Forfar Athletic at Station Park.
Mikael Mandron was brought on at half-time and it was another substitute that set him up for what proved to be the winner, as James Scott rolled it into the Frenchman's path to power home from close range.
Match One - lost 2-0: Tom Smith Rob Hunt Tom Flanagan Jack Tucker Ellis Iandolo Anthony Scully Teddy Bishop Ben Perry Kyreece Lisbie A Trialist Will Goodwin
Match Two -lost 2-1: Harrison Chamberlain started in goal, with a back four of Kane Vincent-Young, Sam Kuffour Jr, Frankie Terry, and Oscar Thorn. JK Gordon Ronnie Harvey Arthur Read Harry Anderson Jaden Williams Another Trialist
Swap in Macey for Smith and Payne for A Trialist form Match One, and I think we have our starting line-up for Tranmere (so no Edwards and Tovide )
