Our under-18s returned from the international break with an eventful and fiercely contested draw on the road to Reading. Benjamin, who was our top scorer last season for the under-18s, marked his first start of the season in style. Zecevic-John, who continuously caused havoc the whole game, was brought down in the box and Seb Ferdinand subsequently sent Harrison Rhone the wrong way from 12 yards to double our lead. Then in added time, Ferdinand and Smith were both given their marching orders after a brawl broke out between both sides.
