Lincoln
City Res 1 Sheff Utd Res 3
11th April 2006
Lincoln City's reserves lost 3-1 to Sheffield United's
reserves at Sincil Bank on Monday evening. However,
Lincoln fielded mainly youth players, an emergency
goalkeeper plus four trialists!
Peterborough United provided two of the four trialists in
the form of Adam Fry and Shane Huke. Both players are
midfielders, who have only recently progressed from
trainee level. Fry has made four appearances for
Peterborough; Huke, who is Australian, has played twelve
times for Peterborough. Both players have yet to score
their first professional goal.
Another trialist was former Norwich City youngster Mark
Baines. As The Forgotten Imp revealed on March
21st, Baines
currently plays for Ortonians of the Peterborough League
Premier Division. He also plays in the Peterborough
Sunday League for Royal Oak.
Baines is a 21-year-old midfielder, who is rated as one
of the best players in the Peterborough Premier League.
The final trialist was Cedric Mukendie, who was
originally scheduled to play in Lincoln's reserve match
against Hartlepool United, which took place last week.
However, Mukendie was held up in Swindon and missed the
match.
With three of Lincoln City's four goalkeepers unavailable
for this match, it meant that Lincoln had to play the son
of their goalkeeping coach. Hence Jonathan Cherry, son of
Steve, answered the emergency call and kept goal for The
Imps.
The goalkeeping crisis arose because second choice
goalkeeper Simon Rayner is on loan at Alfreton Town.
Meanwhile, youth team goalkeepers Ayden Duffy and Scott
Loach were also unavailable because Duffy is on work
experience at Cambridge United, while Loach was playing
for Watford's reserves as he settles in ahead of his
summer transfer to Watford.
Lincoln's mix 'n match side found themselves 2-0 down
before the 30 minute mark. Ryan Cresswell doubled
Sheffield United's tally after Ayman Tahar had given
United an early lead.
Martin Gritton - the most experienced player on the pitch
- pulled a goal back for Lincoln in the 32nd minute.
However, Lincoln's comeback was spectacularly halted in
the 67th minute when Matthew Lawton unleashed an
unstoppable drive past Cherry to make the score 3-1 to
Sheffield United.
