U21 Match Preview | Cardiff City vs. Charlton Athletic
Cardiff City's U21 side are back in Leckwith for Tuesday afternoon's match against the Addicks - 2pm KO.
The young Bluebirds played at Cardiff International Sports Stadium last week, defeating PDL South leaders Millwall in a thrilling 4-2 home victory.
Fielding a starting eleven which featured several First Team players, Mark Harris opened the scoring early on with a terrific solo effort.
With the Lions equalising before half-time, Cameron Antwi struck back less than a minute after the interval, netting from over 25 yards with a well-weighted shot over the 'keeper, who was caught well off his line.
Substitute Owen Pritchard added a third goal with just over 20 minutes remaining, with a great right-footed effort from the edge of the area. Though the visitors responded by reducing the lead, Prtichard played through teammate Chanka Zimba beautifully for the forward to restore the two-goal advantage with a few minutes left on the clock.
