  .. Reserves finish season in deadlock (14/05/01)  
 

Even though Leicester is getting more and more soaked by the minute, City's last reserve game of the season went ahead tonight with Wimbledon the visitors.

City took the lead through Trevor Benjamin's 12th minute strike when he reacted the quickest in a goal mouth scramble that was caused by the pouring rain making the pitch laughably slippery.

A special mention too must go to midfielder Matthew Jones who ran his heart out in the first half before he was substituted in the interval, surly an indication of his inclusion on Saturday against Former club Leeds.

City did not have it all their own way in the first half though and the Don's Lionel Morgan equalised after 42 minutes with a well timed shot that had no problems beating City's desperately stretching 'keeper Michael Price.

City new boy Ashley Lyth found himself getting an early bath early in the second half after receiving a second yellow card and being immediately sent off. Rumours that he was cold and desperate to leave the field, have as yet, proved to be untrue.

After that Wimbledon found it easy to take the lead when they used their numerical advantage in the 72nd minute to let Joel McAnuff fire off a shot that hit the back of the net with ease.

All was not lost though as City fought back and just four minutes later, FFS's tip for the top, Lawrie Dudfield fired home from a tight angle and left the score all square which is where it stayed for the rest of the evening.
