Match report: U23s draw with Blackburn at Academy

The young Reds had a number of chances at the Kirkby Academy but in the end had to settle for a point.

There were positives to take for Neil Critchley's side with goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher pulling off some impressive saves, while Isaac Christie-Davies and Liam Coyle returned to action.

Opportunities were few and far between in the first half, with the best opening falling to the visitors early on.

An untimely slip from Tom Clayton in the third minute allowed Jack Vale to go through on goal. However, Kelleher was on hand to deny the Blackburn forward.
