City’s U18’s claimed an away draw against Plymouth Argyle on Saturday morning.
MATCH SUMMARY
City claimed a point on the road against Plymouth Argyle as the two sides were held to a 1-1 draw.
The young Bluebirds' only goal of the game came from Gruff Evans who powered a right-footed strike into the near top corner of the Plymouth Argyle net.
However, City’s lead didn’t last long as the home side slotted a carefully placed free-kick in the net against the run of play only two minutes later to draw the game level.
The Bluebirds had chances during the contest going the way of Taona Nyakuhwa and Keano Conaty. City continued to assert dominance over the home side as further chances went the way of James Eley and Ellis Yorke only for the game to end level.
PRE-MATCH | LEO PAPIRNYK
“The season’s been going really well so far. It’s a new group of lads so it’s taken a bit of time for some of the boys to mould in but we’re all coming together. Our results are starting to show that, with two wins in two games now, keeping clean sheets in both.
“As a striker it’s always great to be scoring goals but for me it’s more about winning and doing my job for the team.
“Plymouth are a strong side. We’ve looked at their clips in training, and we played them in pre-season. We know they’re a very physical team and we're going to go down there knowing it’s going to be a tough battle.
"However, we’ve been preparing really well throughout the week and if we stick to our gameplan, hopefully we can come away with three points.
“The atmosphere in the dressing room is great with two wins on the bounce, so we couldn’t ask for anything more. Going into the game on Saturday, the boys are buzzing and certainly up for it.”
