The majority of Cambridge United's youth team turned out for the reserves this afternoon (2pm) against Luton Town reserves and produced an impressive 3-1 victory.

Most of the regular second string played against Barnet in last night's AWS tie so the youths got their chance to impress at a higher level, reinforced by the experience of Arjan Van Heusden, reserve team boss John Taylor, and trialist Robert Simpson. An attacking midfielder who started out with Tottenham, Simpson is a 23-year-old former England youth international who most recently played for Portsmouth and has been training with United for a few weeks.

The goalscorers were Nathan Lamey, who scored twice from the penalty spot, and Alex Revell.

Cambridge United Reserves: Van Heusden, Ingham, Cockrill, Haniver, Howe, Taylor, Gibson, Lockhart, Chillingworth, Lamey, Simpson.
Subs: Kamara, Mercer, Revell, Rush, Bridges.

Luton Town Reserves: Tate, McGowan, Zahana Oni, Fraser, Ayres, Stirling, Scarlett, Harrison, Fotiadis, Quailey, Moses.
Subs: Moran, Ward, Minton, Mansell, Caroll.
