Hatters hurt Shrimpers but Asante hits first goal for the first team

The kids are nearly all right. Praise for the boys from the boss Paul Sturrock, but he believes the older players in the team let them down.

Not too sure about that, Sean Clohessy was a touch unlucky for the penalty, but cheers all round for a well-taken goal by sub Kyle Asante as the spot-kick & a stoppage time winner allow Hatters to see off Shrimpers and give the home side an outside chance of a great escape from relegation to the Conference.
