TEAM that started was

Equaliser and proves with determination you can succeed

Scott Vernon scored for Colchester from a freekick

2nd half and Weimann comes on for Albrighton

Ashley Vincent scores for Colchester

Sidwell scores again after a little Barry free kick

Loads of Villa subs now – Zat Knight, Curtis Davies, Marlon Harewood, Barry Bannan off and are replaced by Eric Lichaj, Adam McGurk, Shane Lowry and Ciaran Clark

Hard driven shot by Weimann results in a McGurk tap in, delighted after his massive injury problems

Full time 2-2 and a hard won draw with the younsgters again standing out and Weimann making a difference, good run, some more time on the pitch for the few first teamers who played.
