Sheffield Wednesday struck twice early on to take home a friendly win this evening as the Cobblers were well tested in the last home friendly of the summer. Stuart Gray named a first choice eleven for the game but it was the visitors that struck the early blows with Jermaine Johnson and Francis Jeffers grabbing the goals.
An injury to Liam Davis saw the midfielder stretchered off in a worrying incident while Adebayo Akinfenwa came close to reducing the arrears late in the half. But it was Wednesday who should have had the third goal of the game when Jeffers went down under the challenge of Chris Dunn and won a penalty a few minutes into the second half. Dunn picked himself up though and pulled off a terrific save to keep the score down.
Abdul Osman and Billy McKay went close late on but the Cobblers were beaten and now have just two remaining friendlies to go before the big season opener against Macclesfield Town on August 8th!
