Team Bath 0 - 5 Q.P.R. reserves

Last updated : 01 August 2006 By
Bircham, transfer listed last season, was left behind when the first team went to Italy but gave Gary Waddock something to think about. He scored three times with Steve Lomas and Stefan Moore getting the other goals. The breakthrough didn't come until the 55th minute but then it was all one way traffic.

"It was a fantastic performance,'' Justin Skinner told qpr.co.uk.

"The senior pros put on a very positive display. The attitude was first class; the work rate was fantastic and the quality shone through in the end.''

Bircham though is still not happy. He feels upset at the way he's been treated.

"Gary was one of my very first heroes and is the last person I thought would behave like this," he fumed.

"The club has treated me disgracefully. I feel betrayed."
