Andy Holden's reserve side, finished their season with a defeat to Sunderland. The youthful eleven, at least went down fighting, with a display that bodes well for the future. Everton welcomed back keeper Iain Turner from Chester, and he was called upon in the 20th minute to tip round the post a shot from Sunderland's Kingsberry. Everton's best effort of the half fell to Brian Moogan, who watched his 25 yard effort superbly saved by the Sunderland keeper. Everton started the second half well, with both Pascucci and Fox going close. Moogan again had to watch as an in form Sunderland keeper in Alnwick saved well, after the Everton midfielder went on a mazy run before unleashing a shot, that seemed goal bound. The
visitors took the lead totally against the run of play, when Potter conceded
a dubious penalty, which Clark converted to give the Black Cats an undeserved
lead. A close range header from substitute Graham, five minutes before
the death, gave the visitors maximum points, but at least Andy Holden
will be pleased with the commitment and effort his young charges displayed
in their last outing of the season. (28/04/047) Title winning keeper Iain Turner returns to earth with a bump tonight as he is named in the sticks for tonights rezzies match at home to Sunderland. Andy Holden once again has named an exceptionally young and inexperienced side, with the exception of Turner, Peter Clarke, and midfielder Steven Schumacher. If the Blues register a victory this evening in their last match of the season, it will push them into fourth position. First team take note. (27/04/04) Everton From : Turner, Potter, Fox, Clarke, Gerrard, Schumacher, Wynne, B Moogan, Vaughan, Pascucci, Booth, Wright, Lake, Harris, Hughes, Fowler, Boyle.
