Clevedon Town 5-2 Bristol City XI

Three late goals saw City's Under-18s beaten 5-2 at Clevedon Town in a keenly-contested pre-season friendly.

City led one-nil at half-time thanks to Scott Wilson's goal on the half-hour, pouncing on a long throw-in sent deep into the penalty area.

Clevedon - managed by former City left-back Mickey Bell - hit back strongly with two goals in the space of ten minutes after the interval.

But City restored parity through a stunning Joe Bryon 25-yard strike just before the hour.

Just when the game looked set to end with a share of the spoils, City's hard work was undone in the final six minutes as Clevedon ran in three quick-fire goals to give the final scoreline a rather one-sided look.

There was further bad news for City on the injury front, with Danny Ball limping off at half-time with a hamstring problem and Joe Lennox substitute early because of a suspected fractured wrist.

Academy manager John Clayton told bcfc.co.uk: "It was a good work out for the lads and unfortunately the scoreline looks a lot worse than it was because of the three late goals."

City: Carey (Adams 46); Rigg (Palmer 65), Douglas, Ball (Simms 46), Muggeridge; Lennox (Wilson 15), Medjadoub, Lindsay, Bryon (Reid 70); T.Andrews, Styvar.
