davieG Posted 19 January 2008 Posted 19 January 2008 Posted on: Sat 19 Jan 2008 City's Under-18s returned from Reading with a 1-1 draw on Saturday lunchtime. Injuries, illnesses and first-team call-ups had left Steve Beaglehole's squad threadbare, but Billy McKay's (pictured) second half effort ensured the Foxes came away with a share of the spoils. "I was really pleased with the lads' efforts and we responded in the right fashion after going a goal down in the first half," said Academy Manager Jon Rudkin. "And in the end we could have easily won the game against a Reading side who are always strong." Rudkin was also complimentary of the surface at Reading. He added: "Considering all the rain we have had of late, the pitch was in terrific condition and played really well." Meanwhile, City's Under-18s will face a trip to Chelsea in the fifth round of the FA Youth Cup after the Blues comfortably overcame Shrewsbury Town 4-0 at Brentford FC on Friday evening. A date for the last 16 clash has yet to be confirmed. City: Pentney, O'Neill, Garner, Rowe-Turner, Beswick, King C (John 45), Howard, Tuttle, Burns, McKay, Chambers A (Chamberlain 45).

Not a bad point in the circumstances - at least four could be in the reserves on Wednesday.
