WANDERERS Under-18s wrapped up their home fixtures for the season with a convincing 4-0 win against Colchester United.

In their penultimate U18 Professional Development League outing, strikes from Ronan Darcy, Alex Samizadeh, Laurence Smith and an own goal secured all three points.

It was a young team fielded at the Eddie Davies Academy with five players from the u16s in the starting XI and another three on the substitutes bench.

But it did not stop the young Whites dominating from the start.

They took the lead just seven minutes in when Cameron Moore beat two players before passing to Darcy who scored from a tight angle.

Ryan White and Samizadeh had chances to increase the advantage in the first half before White beat two men and forced an own goal from a U's defender to make it 2-0.

Spooner's side continued to be in the ascendancy in the second half and they made it 3-0 when Jordan Grant crossed for Samizadeh who made no mistake from close range.

White was causing huge problems for the visitors, posing a threat every time he got in possession.

And he grabbed a second assist when another good delivery found Smith who netted a fourth to seal a comprehensive victory.

Delighted coach Spooner told The Bolton News: "We started the game with a very young team and dominated from the start.

"We scored after seven minutes and had other opportunities to extend the lead.

"The second half was similar to the first with us creating numerous chances.

"The result and performance were excellent and it was pleasing finishing the game with eight u16s' players involved."

Wanderers complete their season on Saturday when they make the long trip to Suffolk to face Ipswich Town.
