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.
3-0 half time, Jephcott with the third one.
5-0 now
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.
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.
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
and as I write that the swiss have taken the lead
Finished 1-0 to Switzerland with a bit of a grandstand finish by Wales in which they had a goal harshly disallowed, but overall, I don’t think they can have too many complaints about the outcome.
Also, an interesting article about some of the next lot of Academy youngsters coming through - seems Leeds offered six figure sums for Cian Ashford this summer.

A bit off topic I guess but Sion Spence got two goals tonight, including a late winner, as Bristol Rovers came back from 3-1 down in extra time to beat Oxford 4-3 in their FA Cup replay.
City under 18s 1-0 up at half time against QPR with the goal scored by Rhys Schwank as as they chase a fifth successive win - I say under 18s, but there’s a lot of players involved who were representing Wales at under 16 level last month. Looking at the team selected, it seems we can expect a fair under 18 regulars to be involved with the under 23s when they resume fixtures on Tuesday.
