If anyone is at a very loose indeed end, the game is being broadcast online for free. Not quite sure it's audio only or video. https://twitter.com/T_STBL/status/1655806822710747140

(Yes, by the Sir Tom Broadbent Lounge, with Hanners on commentary. It's optional!)

Assuming it's going to be pretty much first year scholars only plus Dworzak and Minturn. Can't see anyone out of contract (Parsons, Cowmeadow, Massey) playing, or who we'd hope to shift (Adeloye). Strange timing for a game really.

I went - it was men against boys to be fair. First half we seemed scared of 'em, not surprising really considering the size difference ! We seemed to mimic the first team, way too much aimless passing it around at the back, and too many high/long balls into the box which were easily mopped up. After a couple of substitutions we looked a lot better for the last half hour, with some slick passing and quite a number of attempts on goal !

I must admit I was disappointed we didn't play any of the promising youngsters like Minturn, Cowmeadow, Dworzak etc, and to be honest I probably wouldn't have bothered had I known !

Was it 3-0 final score?

Assume they played the youth team from the comments above?

Yes 3-0; first half a good shot from a cross and an own goal from a deflected shot. Second half penalty.
I didn't know/recognise any of them. Some showed some promise to be fair !
