A last gap winner by Vitaliy Lanko denied the U21's a point in Borisov. It was cruel luck on the side after a spirited performance, and especially on keeper Anthony Williams who saved a first half penalty.

Simon Haworth came closet to score when his back-hell went inches wide. Captain Lee Jarman was outstanding in defence.

New boss Jimmy Shoulder was very disappointed. He said: "There was a lot of good points that came out of the game, but the boys must learn to play as long as the ref does."
