Walsall Under-18s returned to action on Saturday morning as they made the trip to the Chapel Road Training Ground where they faced Oldham Athletic in their latest EFL Youth Alliance outing of the season.
After suffering a five-nil thrashing at the hands of near-rivals Shrewsbury Town last weekend, the Saddlers, who are still managed by development phase coach Ben King, were looking to right a few wrongs as they faced the young Latics in Greater Manchester.
Despite their season of struggle, which saw them win just one of their fifteen pre-Oldham Alliance outings, the young Saddlers able to take a welcome point from their trip North as, after Joe Edwards (22'), opened the scoring for the home side, Ronan Maher put the game back on level terms in the second-half to secure a welcome point.
