WHATEVER they accomplish in their professional careers, Town midfielders Mark Marshall and Michael Pook can retire happy.

This is because the pair emerged joint winners when Sky Sports 1’s Crossbar Challenge came to a Town training session at Wanborough.

Unfortunately for Marshall, his moment of glory was not captured, as the cameraman filmed the path of a ball that had been thrown at him by a mischievous team-mate.

But the all-important replay showed the midfielder had clipped the underside of the bar with his halfway line effort.

“I think the ball hitting me in the head kind of put the cameraman off because he thought I was going to scuff it, but nothing beats concentration,” joked Marshall.

“For me to watch it and see they only put the replay on, I was gutted. But it’s good fun, it’s just something to keep the boys chirpy.”

Following Marshall’s effort, Pook hit the top of the bar as the two youngsters took the plaudits.
