Last updated : 10 September 2003 By Mark Heys
A youthful and inexperienced Bolton Wanderers reserve side where defeated 2-0 by an experienced Manchester City reserve team which included the likes of Steve McManaman, Robbie Fowler and Paulo Wanchope.

Both goals came in the first half during the game at Hyde United's ground but the young side stood firm and no doubt learned a lot from the more experienced opposition.

Goals from Lee Croft and Costa Rican International Paulo Wanchope gave City the win and despite Wanderers youngsters battling qualities it was evident who was the stronger team.
