Leicester City U18 1-0 Birmingham City U18
Posted on: Sat 15 Dec 2007

A second half Billy Kee strike was enough for Leicester City's academy side to record their second victory in four days as they overcame Birmingham at the Belvoir Drive training ground on Saturday.

Steve Beaglehole's side rode their luck in the early stages as goalkeeper Carl Pentney failed to deal with a long ball and a last ditch goal line clearance from Joe Cobb stopped the Foxes from falling behind.

But the home side responded with a string of chances as Eric Odhiambo and Ryan Beswick both produced fine saves from the Birmingham goalkeeper.

City continued to search for the breakthrough in the second half as a cross from Lee Cox was met by Ryan Beswick inside the penalty area, but his header failed to hit the target.

Moments later Eric Odhimabo forced his way behind the Birmingham defence and picked out Steven Howard 12 yards from goal only for the midfielder to volley over the bar.

The deadlock was broken after 70 minutes. A cross from the right by Ryan Beswick found substitute Billy Kee unmarked at the far post. The striker found room to bring the ball down before firing in the winner.

Leicester City's academy side return to action in the new year when they travel to Bristol City on 5 January.

City: Petney, Cobb, Garner, Rowe-Turner, Cox, Tuttle, Howard, C King (Kee 55), Beswick, Sappleton (McKay 45), Odhiambo (Burns 72)

Before anyone says he should be in the first team (maybe i'm on the wrong site for that to be fair) he was crap on Wednesday night.

I think the fact that he may have a head like a dropped pie is neither here nor there. If he's banging in the goals he should be applauded. And according to a bloke that used to teach at his school he's a nice bloke. Besides I'll bet there are girls out there who would've slept with a lot worse. :icon_bigg
