U's reserves beaten at Stevenage
9:42pm Wednesday 8th September 2010 in
Colchester United's reserves were beaten 3-0 by Stevenage tonight, in their latest totesport.com Combination match.
Tim Sills gave the home side the lead seven minutes before half-time and former U's man Lawrie Wilson doubled their advantage, early in the second half.
Danny Mitchley sealed Stevenage's win with 20 minutes to go, to inflict defeat upon Richard Hall's side.
The game saw U's goalkeeper Ben Williams make his first appearance since injuring his ankle in the Essex Senior Cup Final at the beginning of last month.

I don't follow the reserves either, mainly because we are always starved of information about them. Not a mention on the CUFC website, as far as I can see. But how else do you expect fringe players, or those retuirning from injury, to get some match practice?
I shall always remember a magnificent reserves match, the last ever at Layer Road, on 29th April 2008, when the U's Reserves beat Peterborough Reserves 3-0, some good football was played, and we all went out on the pitch afterwards and took away samples of the hallowed turf.
