Albion U18s 1 Derby County U18s 5

ALBION's under-18s suffered a Palm Training Ground defeat to Derby County on Saturday.

The young Baggies took the lead on the stroke of half-time through Eoin Ashton but saw their lead evaporate soon after the break.

Goals from Jayden Charles and Liam Thompson turned the game around near the hour mark to put Derby in the lead.

The game was then put beyond Albion in the final 15 minutes through Morgan Whittaker, Jason Knight and Jack Stretton as Derby claimed a clinical win and all three points.

Mike Scott's side have a chance to get back to winning ways this coming weekend when they host Middlesbrough.

ALBION: Griffiths, Williams, Delaney (Thorndike 73), King, Wakeling, Taylor, Ashton, Brown (Fellows 84), Barry (Smith 64), Soule, Gardner-Hickman.

Substitutes: Cann, Ojebode.
