The Tractor Boys flew out of the blocks and were 2-0 up within the first ten minutes, capitalizing on the young Alex side after a long journey.

Undeterred by the deficit, Kenny Lunt's side fought back to level matters up through Callum Ainley and Johnny Higham.

Heading for a draw, defender Tom Quinn popped up in the last minute to win it for The Alex and give the team a perfect starting to their U18 PDL2 campaign.
