Jamie Reid’s 19th-minute strike proved decisive as Stevenage beat ten-man Colchester United 1-0 in a Club Friendly Games encounter, with Ben Thompson’s commanding display earning him the highest rating on the pitch. The hosts were never seriously threatened after Sean Raggett’s 15th-minute red card, and the result rounded off their pre-season preparations without a confirmed next fixture to look toward.
