Goals from first year Conor Green and frontman Joe Flint ensured our youngsters got off to a winning start in pre-season.
Youth chief John Ramshaw told mansfieldtown.net this morning: Â "I was absolutely delighted with the boys last night against senior opposition. Â It's always difficult for young players to play against men but we passed the ball well and it's clear that we have a number of talented individuals within our squad. Â There are aspects, of course, which we can improve upon, and they will be worked upon during the course of the year."
