A mixed squad of old and young took on Hinkley United last night for United's kit man Buster Kendal's testimonial at Middlefield Lane.

City opted to give several first teamers an outing in a bid to keep everyone match fit during City's week off before they face Leeds a week today.

Simon Royce, Gary Rowett, Matthew Jones and Andy Impey were all in the starting line up but hero of the hour was Dean Sturridge who scored City's only goal.

It was Impey's cross that gave Sturridge the chance he needed to hit a powerful header into the net to fly straight by United's 'keeper.

City then went on to give City's kids more of a go in the second half with the likes of Dudfield replacing City's old timers.
