Coventry City U23's finished their season with a 2-0 win over Queens Park Rangers.

Jason Farndon made changes from the side well beaten by Barnsley on Monday and had both Kelly-Evans brothers back along with loanee Jordan Maguire-Drew against a QPR side which included former City trialist Chris Paul on the bench for this game at the Ricoh Arena.

Again, there were plenty of scouts, having a look at players on a sunny but not too warm afternoon where there were no team sheets.

Two trialists played for City, one in defence and one up front and the one playing up front, fired City ahead after seven minutes and 53 seconds following a lovely Josh Eccles shot being saved by Brzozowski and the trialist following up to score.

Kyle Finn fired wide and the West Londoners had a corner cleared before the trialist worked with Finn for a 26th minute shot which was not far away.

A minute later and City had a free kick. Chris Camwell took it and struck the keeper's left hand post with a lovely shot which the keeper got a hand to.

The Trialist headed over a Jordan Maguire-Drew cross from the right. 

McGuire-Drew was replaced at the break by Bil Sayoud and it was a half which saw Paul Hall's side have two early corners.

Rangers had a third corner in the 52nd minute which was blasted over by their right midfielder.

In the 63rd minute. City had a second goal when Callum Maycock was clean through. He played in the trialist who squared for Bilal Sayoud to fire into the net.

QPR went for a triple change with Paul coming on but they were thankful to the legs of Brzozowski who saved from Sayoud in the 66th minute.

Rangers kept up the pressure with Addai making a good save with his legs in the 71st minute after Owens had blasted over.

A bad foul saw Eccles needing treatment with ten minutes of of the season left. 

Finn fired into the side netting, QPR won two corners and Addai saved from Owens, going into the last five minutes.

The Trialist fired just wide of Brzozowski's left-hand post as City finished with a win.
