Aldershot Town Reserves 1 Crystal Palace Reserves 2

Shots completed their Totesport.com Combination season with a narrow defeat against Crystal Palace in warm sunshine at the EBB Stadium. The starting line-up comprised four youth team players (Cox, Mekki, Hutchings and Connolly) and seven trialists, of whom only Jordan Wilson had previously appeared.

The Shots came close to opening the scoring when Wilson's snapshot found Palace keeper Thorp out of position. Thorp kept out the effort and Mekki's follow-up was blocked by a defender. Another move down the right saw a quickly taken Wilson free kick find Connolly in space, his cross was right into the danger zone but a Palace head was first to the ball.
