Ethan Wheatley handed our young Reds the lead after 35 minutes played, following a neat pass from Ethan Williams out wide. The former made no mistake from close range, as he slotted home past True Grant to open the scoring.
Just nine minutes into the second half, our advantage became two thanks to experienced midfielder Tom Huddlestone. Williams's corner was picked up by our no.6 on the evening, and he made no mistake from the edge of the box.
Stephen Mfuni pulled a goal back for City with half an hour remaining, bending an effort past Dermot Mee to make it 2-1.
