Northampton Town's youth team travelled to Barnet on Saturday for their latest Football League Youth Alliance fixture.

The Cobblers won the game 3-1 with Josh Urquhart and Mark Withers both on target for Sean Parrish's side.

"Overall I was pleased with the performance of the lads," reflected the Cobblers youth team coach.

"We made a few changes to the side because of various reasons and the blustery conditions made it difficult but after quite a slow start we got ourselves into the game and scored two good goals.

"We were a bit sluggish again at the start of the second half which was disappointing but credit to Barnet they got themselves back into the game at 2-1.

"After that we got back on top again though and an own goal put us 3-1 ahead. With the chances we created we probably should have scored more goals and made things more comfortable for ourselves.

"I was just pleased to get the three points though and hopefully this will be the start of a good run that will see us kick on up the league table."
