Luke Miles was the man of the match for Town whilst Rees and Thomas starred for the Juniors.The Juniors found the net well but have to tighten up at the back ,maybe with the regular combinations back for future matches this will improve.It was a match played with good sportsmanship and both teams served up a thriller for the neutral.
