Brentford B will face Bournemouth Under-21s on Friday in a 7pm kick-off at Gtech Community Stadium. The fixture will be the second Robert Rowan Invitational, raising money for Heart of West London.

The fixture will pay tribute to the life of former Brentford technical director Robert Rowan, who sadly passed away in November 2018 due to an undiagnosed heart condition at the age of just 28.

All proceeds from the game will be donated to fund ground-breaking sports cardiology research at the Royal Brompton and Harefield Hospitals Charity, as part of Heart of West London partnership.

Last time out at the Gtech

Tristan Crama scored a stoppage-time header as Brentford came from two goals down to win the first Robert Rowan Invitational at Gtech Community Stadium in the final game of the 2022/23 season.

The young Bees faced an uphill battle to overturn Manchester City EDS's two-goal advantage, but quickfire strikes from Nathan Young-Coombes and Michael Olakigbe saw the sides head back to the dressing rooms on level terms.

Crama then scored in the final moments of the second half to complete a dramatic turnaround.
