Reserves Coast To Victory

Nathan Blake opened the scoring as City's second string breezed to a 3-0 win over West Ham United at Rockingham Road.

Leicester took an experienced line-up to face the Hammers with Gareth Williams and Tommy Wright also chipping in with goals to rack up all three points.

In the early stages the Foxes opened up some good opportunites by attacking the byline, yet no-one could find that finishing touch to some promising looking crosses.

Despite City's pressure, West Ham had the first real chance to break the deadlock. Moses Ashikodi, picking up on a rare loose pass, bore down on goal but Conrad Logan came to meet him and bravely slid in to snatch the ball off his toes.

Leicester took a hold of the game just before the half hour mark, a good move gave Williams a sight of goal and though his shot was deflected wide the stage was set for City's first. Matthew Heath could not believe it when his header from the resulting corner hit the post and was cleared off the line, but Blake hit the target moments later from a carbon copy set piece.

The signs pointed to this 27th minute strike opening the floodgates for City and so it proved. They took a two goal lead into the interval after Trevor Benjamin nicked the ball off a panicked Hammers defender and slotted the ball through to Blake. In the last action of the half the goalscorer then turned provider, releasing a marauding Williams into the area to double Leicester's advantage at the break.

Playing out of his usual forward position, Tommy Wright still managed to get on the scoresheet to finish the job before the hour. A fine, deep cross found Wright powering into the box from the left wing and he struck it sweetly on the volley to put the icing on the cake.
