Luton suffer AFC Wimbledon defeat

Striker Alasan Ann started his first game since he was injured for the first team in the FA Trophy at Hinckley in January, while U16 Ian Rees came in for his first start of the year.

The best chances in the opening half saw Rees and Leeroy Maguraushe try their luck from distance, but neither side could break the deadlock.

After the break, the Dons started positively and took the lead on 59 minutes, before adding a second soon afterwards.

The introduction of Jemale McKenzie-Lowe into the attack with Maguraushe moving into midfield worked well for Town as the substitute came closest when he was denied by a smart save.

Hatters: Barnes, Feltwell (Trialist), Jibodu (C) (Stanley 68), Ferguson, Chabata, Cole, Nash, Burtenshaw (McKenzie-Lowe 61), Rees, Maguraushe, Ann. Substitutes Not Used: Stephens, Terry.
