The Owls Under-18s were comfortably defeated at Queens Park Rangers on Saturday, going down 4-0 in the capital.

It could have been a different story for the Owls youngsters, who were left to rue missed chances early in the contest.

Luke Hall had the best of them for the visitors, but after running through on goal, one-v-one with the keeper, the midfielder opted to pick out Alex Bonnington rather than have a go at goal and overhit the pass.

Luke Yates nodded wide from a corner unmarked midway through the first half and then Wednesday found themselves a goal down ten minutes before the break.

Despite a close-fought first half, the game got away from our youth team after the break, with QPR scoring three times to seal the points.

A difficult day for the Wednesday youth team, who host Colchester on Monday at Middlewood Road.

Owls: Hare, Curtis, Yates, Glover, Glavesn (Zottos 66), Ahsfa (Ashman 46), Davidson, Trueman, Bonnington, Hall, Aguas (Sesay 53)
