Reserves endure Liverpool lashing

Last updated : 08 May 2008 By Tom Vickers
Marlon Harewood and Shaun Maloney were in Villa's reserve team line up against Liverpool but they couldn't prevent a 3-0 hammering at Anfield.
The second string were aiming to add the nationwide title to their southern league crown but were undone by a rousing performance from the Reds.
Nemeth, Brouwer and Lucas were all on target for the home side, who capped a fine season with emphatic efficiency.
Villa had their chances with Harewood missing out on a couple of occasions, but it wasn't to be for Kevin MacDonald's determined side.
The coaches at Villa Park should take a lot of credit from the performances of all sides wearing the claret and blue this season.
Tony McAndrew's academy side managed to claim the nationwide title against Manchester City recently and have been very impressive.
Fabulous work has been done all round and the summer break is richly deserved for the players who will now target first team action for next season.
