With Steve Ogrizovic watching both the U18 and U16 games were going on simultaneously at the Little Heath Tennis Club in Dagenham, Brian Borrows sent on Craig Reid. The striker with the most appearances for City Reserves this season almost added a third with a good shot late on as city romped to another well deserved victory.
