Coventry City U21's were beaten 2-1 by Barnsley at Nuneaton Town.
Darren Murray's side, which included Conor Thomas, Marcus Tudgay, Ryan Allsop, Shaun Miller plus a trailist who has been training with the club for the last few days, went a goal down in the 19th minute to a Barnsley side who were bottom of the PDL League 2 North table when the trialist handled the ball after sliding in and a penalty was awarded which Nana Boakye-Yeadon fired past Allsop.
In the 63rd minute, City drew level when James Maddison was hacked down for a penalty and the Cov kid, who has scored for City's first team this season, got up to score but seven minutes later, Barnsley had a free kick and Paul Digby fired into the net to put the Tykes back in front and send City to a defeat.
