Last time out

Brentford conceded late, allowing Wigan to peg the young Bees back in Brentford's last fixture.

For most of the game, the Bees were in control of the game, but the second half did see Wigan have extended spells of sustained pressure.

Beaux Booth gave us the lead after good work from Ashley Hay. A trialist managed to get Wigan the leveller.
