A strong Wolves side beat a youthful Birmingham outfit 4-1 at Blues’ Wast Hills training ground.

Wayne Hennessey and Matt Murray played one half each in goal. Goals from Dave Edwards, Sam Vokes, Denes Rosa and Mark Davies clinched victory for Steve Weaver’s side.

Vokes hobbled off injured on 31 minutes after a tackle by Jordan Anderson. Andy Keogh was particularly impressive for Wolves, helping to set up three goals.

Edwards broke the deadlock with a hard, low shot on 10 minutes after Keogh and Davies combined. Twelve minutes later it was 2-0, when Vokes scrambled home after heavy pressure on the Blues goal.

Two further goals in 10 minutes made things safe for Wolves, after Keogh unselfishly squared to Denes Rosa to finish from close range on 47, before Keogh and Hemmings combined to set up Davies to shoot home on 57.

Mitchell McPike grabbed a consolation for Blues on the hour with a free kick after a foul by Matt Hill on Robert Gradwell, which earned the former Preston full-back a booking on the comeback.

The extent of Vokes’ injury is not yet known.
Wolves: Hennessey (Murray HT); Melbourne, Friend, Hill, Williams (Batth 78), Potter, C Edwards (Rosa HT), D Edwards (Dunleavy 70), Keogh (Hughes 66), Vokes (Hemmings 31), Davies.
