Moorby (16), Wilson (40)

Last Saturday, Town’s Academy side moved three points clear at the top of the EFL Youth Alliance with a 2-0 win away at third-placed Grimsby Town.

The opening goal came in the 16th-minute when Ollie Nicholson delivered a fantastic ball for James Moorby arriving at the back post to head home. A second nearly followed when Finn O’Boyle played in Emmanuel Ilesanmi who pulled the ball back to Josh Brodella, whose shot was well saved. In the 34th-minute, Alex Mooney made a smart save from a Grimsby free-kick and minutes later, the hosts struck the woodwork from another free-kick.

Town then doubled their lead in the 40th-minute when Mason Wilson got on the end of a low driven free-kick from Nicholson and flicked the ball over the keeper.

In the second half, Ben Tweed made a vital block after Grimsby’s striker had rounded the Mooney. In the 68th minute, Ilesanmi found Brad Williams down the line who crossed towards O’Boyle to head narrowly wide. The final attempt of the game went the way of Town as Ilesanmi found space down the left and crossed towards Elijah Samuels in the box, but Grimsby were able to clear.

Town: Mooney, Williams, Moorby (Birmingham 85), Wilson, Attree, Taylor, Brodella (Liddle 56) , Tweed, Ilesanmi, O’Boyle (80), Nicholson (Smalley 85)

Tue 28 Scunthorpe United YA 1-1 Brodella (pen)

On Tuesday the Academy travelled to play a strong Scunthorpe side, who included three first year professionals. We were put under pressure early in the game with the hosts testing the boys with shots and crosses raining in.

Once Town overcame this spell, the lads grew into the game creating some good opportunities and on the stroke of half time Josh Brodella won a penalty with a great piece of skill and then he stepped up to put Harrogate 1-0 up at half time. The second half was an even affair although Alex Mooney still made a couple of vital saves whilst carrying an injury for the entirety of the half. Unfortunately the boys could not hold out and we conceded a goal in the 90th-minute, but on reflection a draw was probably a fair result.

Town: Mooney, Williams, Birmingham, Wilson, Attree, Smalley, Tweed, Ilesanmi, O’Boyle, Liddle, Samuels Subs: Brodella, Moorby, Taylor, Nicholson, Kerr
