Yes the future certainly looks rosy Paul with the academy age groups

if there is a genuine route to the first team going forward as there has been this season then quite a few of them might prefer to stay here

As well as more promising pre teens signing for us because they now seem to have a chance of making it that they didn't previously.

Very few online details of this, but it seems, Wales Under 17s, with four City players in the squad, began their campaign in the Euro qualifying mini tournament in Portugal during the international break with a 3-1 win over Ukraine and now face the Portugese next, before finishing with a game against Kazakhstan.

Seems City's Cole Fleming scored the other goal.

Keiron Evans' injury meant that he had to drop out of the Wales Under 21 squad, but Ratcliffe, King and Davies are still there - the game against Gibraltar at six o clock tonight is being streamed on Sgorio.

George Ratcliffe is the only City player in the Welsh team tonight. Wales 2-0 up halfway through the first half Beck and Adams with a penalty the scorers.

Finished 7-0, second half goals from Adam’s, Williams, Taylor and Ashley. Davies was on for the last half an hour or so and King for about fifteen minutes.

Bagan and McGuiness both played for the Republic U21s against Italy tonight too.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

There's very likely to be City involvement in the two age group internationals Wales play today. At under 17 level, they face Kazakhstan knowing that a win will, almost certainly, see them qualify for the Elite Round of the Euros - Ukraine have to beat hosts Portugal to stand a chance of stopping us if we win our game. Not sure what time this match kicks off, but there's live streaming on the Sgorio site of our under 21 game with Switzerland at Rodney Parade which kicks off at 4 o clock.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

u21s are 0-0 with the swiss into the second half
ratcliffe is in the team with Isaak Davies and Eli King on the bench

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...
