Under-18 Match Report – Charlton Athletic 1, Cardiff City 2

Goals from Dan Griffiths and Isaak Davies earned Cardiff City a 2-1 away win in their Professional Development Under-18 League match at Charlton Athletic.

The young Bluebirds hit back from a goal down to earn the win at Charlton and defender Ben Margetson tweeted: “Class win from the boys. Great to get back to winning ways.”

Manager Craig Bellamy made one change to his starting line-up for the previous match with striker Griffiths returning to the line-up.

He went close after seven minutes with a long-range striker which was saved by goalkeeper Joe Osaghe.

James Gody fired Charlton ahead just after the half hour and that was the only goal of the first half.

Davies equalised three minutes into the second half before Griffiths struck with the winner just after the hour.

Margetson almost added a third, but his header flew over after 74 minutes.

Bellamy’s boys have six fixtures left in 2018, starting at Colchester United next Saturday (11am).

They then travel to Queens Park Rangers on Saturday, November 10 before going into three successive home fixtures during December.

They are against Millwall (Saturday, December 1, Noon), Charlton (Saturday, December 8, noon) and Ipswich Town (Saturday, December 15, 11am).
