Worcester City 4 Town Youth 2
Town Youth wound up their campaign on Wednesday evening when a much changed team went down to a hard working Worcester City side.
Worcester had the better of the first half and were leading 2-0 at the break before adding a third early in the second half..
But Town fought back and maintained their record of scoring in every game this season when the prolific Dylan Parker – who was able to return after being injured on first team duty at Dunstable six weeks ago – netted his 26th goal of the season in all competitions followed by Kier Mallen making it 3-2 shortly afterwards.
With Town now pushing forward for the equaliser Worcester wrapped up the points with a breakaway fourth goal in the closing minutes.
