U's to Hot for Blues

Leiston 1 Colchester United 8

In-form Freddie Sears helped himself to four second half goals as an impressive Colchester United side put the Blues to the sword. There was little other than a solitary Dan Holman header between the sides in the opening forty minutes before two goals in as many minutes late in the first half from Gavin Massey and Sam Szmodics gave the U's a 3-0 interval lead. Gareth Heath reduced the arrears early in the second half before substitute Sears netted four times with a Drey Wright goal sandwiched in between.

The Blues now travel to Brantham Athletic on Tuesday for their fourth of seven friendlies.
