Came on for his debut tonight at half time away to York with Hereford 1-0 down but they ended up winning 2-1 with Waite getting the winner ten minutes from time.

will be interesting how he gets on

Definitely. He had a good game by the sound of it and the goal will hopefully have the home fans behind him from the start when he plays there. It's hard to get away from his size and I'm sure that has put off other teams from coming in for him but all he can do now is show off his undoubted talent as best he can. I know Hereford have struggled this season but as long as they get a certain amount of possession then Waite should do well there.

Just watched the highlights of the Llanelli game. Besides scoring, Dan Martin was involved in the creation of about five of the other goals and was popping up all over the pitch - there were also a couple of "agricultural" tackles by Llanelli players which led to them being shown red cards.

The highlights are at this link (go to u19 FAW Cup highlights), Martin was everywhere by the look of it.

A derby game for the Under 18s this morning when they entertain the wurzels at Leckwith, kick off at 11 o clock.

A derby game for the Under 18s this morning when they entertain the wurzels at Leckwith, kick off at 11 o clock.

A 5-0 win with a hat-trick for Sion Spence, an own goal and a deserved goal for the indefatigable Connor Davies. Half the regulars missing so it was an impressive result, Bristol could've had a goal or two themselves but we were impressive throughout and five didn't flatter us. Spence got 90 minutes in but still doesn't quite look fully fit, he was cramping up a bit in the second half, and while he was man of the match there were good performances all round including a very entertaining hour from Rubin Colwill who, as TOBW said earlier, is coming back off an injury. I'm assuming that Rubin is the love child of Jason Fowler, I can think of no other explanation for the similarity.

This preview of the game claims we'll be playing our FAW Youth Cup semi against Swansea at home on March 10th. I'd be surprised at the date as there's a league game the day before and an under-23 game at Hull the night after. We'll see.

Another goal for James Waite but then a straight red later on. "Caught his man with a flailing arm" apparently. Was he on a step-ladder?

Maybe his arm caught the guy right on the kneecap, that can hurt.

3-0 half time, we've had a lot more goal attempts than Watford, but their keepers barely had a save to make.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

3-1, City piling the pressure on!

Not sure why I keep on saying we're playing Watford when I know we're playing Coventry .

2-3 - superb volley by Humprhies.

Final score 3-2 - so many chances to win that game missed.

Re: The Bluebirds Academy and DVP thread...

It looked a strong team that started but O'Keefe lost the ball in midfield twice which led to their first two goals (keeper didn't do too well for those either). Damour also missed a clear cut chance and we should have been at least level at half time rather than three down. However, there seemed to be a huge improvement once those two had been replaced and I thought we were unlucky not to get at least a point. (Coventry no. 11 - Allasani - looked a good young player throughout).
