Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

I did see Ligendza come on as sub against Palace and then him and Ntazana Mayembe rushed over to the artificial pitch close by where the Under 16s were playing to be brought on as subs. That match kicked off well after the Under 18s one and so they played nearly all of the second half - Palace certainly struggled to contain them and they both played a part in the late goal which sealed a 3-1 win - think it was Ligendza who scored it actually.

As for your last sentence, Siyabonga Holt played two games for us in 1931/32 before leaving to play in Berne - we lost both of the matches he played in without scoring a goal.

Three City players in the Wales Under 16 squad to compete for the Victory Shield in Ireland later this month. All three names are new to me and it's a bit disappointing to see such a low number from the club included, but I notice that Swansea only have two.

I'm pretty sure we would have had a 4th player involved in the victory shield squad Bob but Aiden Mcnamara who has been involved with the squads had to pull out injured.

Of course, Bomber Bonga. I'd forgotten about him. Thanks for that, I knew you'd be the man to ask.

A 17-0 win for the Academy boys today in the cup, against Tiger Bay. Even Warnock's son scored.

Cripey I thought Tiger Bay U18s were really good!

I wasn't sure what to expect there. We got taken to extra time by Ely Rangers last season.

The Development side are 2-1 up at half time at top of the table Ipswich - Jack Bodenham and James Waite with the goals for a young City team which fell a goal down early on.

We have someone called Babatomiwo playing centre forward for us (I think that's his name at least, it's very hard to read with the way City have been showing their teams on social media lately).

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

Finished 2-2, so another case of the Under 23s not being able to hold on to a lead, but, with Ipswich having only lost once this season, this was a decent result for such a young team.

A 1-0 win for the Academy at QPR today which takes them five points clear at the top of the table. Ben Margetson (Martyn's son) got the goal. A late red card for striker Dan Griffiths, I've no idea what for though.

We've drawn Hull away in the FA Youth Cup 3rd round. We're top of the South section of League 2 with 24 points from 11 games, Hull are bottom of the North section with 5 points from 13 games but football is a funny old game (unless you're watching a Russell Slade team, of course).

We played Hull down here in August and beat them, pretty comfortably, 3-1, but I'm quite surprised at what a poor league record they have this season, because they didn't look that bad a team that day - they scored a brilliant goal (the first one we conceded this season).

I see Ipswich and the wurzels lost more ground on us over the weekend.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

Just watched the highlights of Saturday's game for the Under 18s, Dan Griffiths was sent off for dissent after a penalty shout by City, so that probably means a three game ban which could well include the Youth Cup match.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

The Development team are at home to Watford this evening at Cardiff City Stadium, kick 7 o clock.

Also, belated congratulations to City's Under 12 side who beat some very good teams on their way to qualifying for the Truce Cup in Belgium next month;-
