Brentford’s Development Squad fixture list has been altered.

The Bees were due to host Cardiff City at the Club’s Jersey Road Training Ground next Friday, September 14, but will instead host Colchester United.

The Essex side will come to West London for a match in the Under-21 Professional Development League that will kick off at 12noon.

The Cardiff match, also in the same League Two South, will now be played at Jersey Road on Monday October 1.

That fixture will kick off at 2pm.

As announced earlier this summer, Brentford are now running a Category Two Football Academy under the new Elite Player Performance Plan and the Club’s Youth Team, Under-18 side, and Development Squad, Under-21 side, have been entered in to a regional league with the other teams at the same level in the south of the country.

Brentford’s opponents at both Under-18 and Under-21 level will include Swansea City, Bristol City, Charlton Athletic, Ipswich Town and Queens Park Rangers.

The Development Squad started their campaign with a 3-0 defeat against Millwall and a 3-2 loss to Bristol City on Monday.
