Five West Ham United youngsters turned out for their respective loan clubs in the npower Football League on Saturday.

Freddie Sears, Peter Kurucz, Cristian Montano (pictured), George Moncur and Callum Driver were all in action, with differing fortunes.

In npower League One, Sears made his debut for Colchester United, but his assist for Steven Gillespie's opening goal could not prevent the U's from falling to a 3-2 defeat at Yeovil Town. Colchester are 12th in the table, nine points adrift of the Play-Off places

Montano was booked after being introduced as a 59th-minute substitute as Martin Allen's Notts County fell to a 3-0 defeat at Hartlepool United. The loss saw the Magpies drop to eleventh in the table.

Elsewhere in the same division, Peter Kurucz had a better day, keeping a clean sheet as Rochdale beat Bournemouth 1-0 at Spotland. The Hungarian's performance helped his club leapfrog Wycombe Wanderers and climb off the bottom of the table.

In npower League Two, George Moncur played the full 90 minutes as AFC Wimbledon drew 1-1 with Morecambe, with the point leaving the Dons 17th in the standings. Callum Driver also completed a full match as Burton Albion drew 1-1 at home with Rotherham, leaving the Brewers eleventh in the table.

Jordan Spence was not involved as Bristol City lost 3-0 at Peterborough United in the npower Championship, while Olly Lee was an unused substitute for Gillingham in their 2-1 npower League Two defeat at Port Vale.
