    "Oh they can't be after him as they are after another keeper" is a dumb position to make, Prem Academies stockpile ffs.

    He looked handy for Wales U17's, a real bull of a Centre Forward. Definitely one we've missed out on like Poole, Cabango and Lockyear. But they all develop at different ages.
    Bro Edern I believe, the new(ish) one in Penylan

    His size was noticeable when I watched the u17s. He has something ridiculous like 8 goals in 5 games for them, but that doesn't necesarily mean he'll go on to great things of course, Simon Church was prolific at youth international level for instance

    I did think that Biancheri & Crew looked the best of the bunch whenever I've seen the u17s, along with the Southampton player Andrews

    Trey George's goals against Burnley. The second one was a cracker. Maybe he should be in the first team to take penalties too! https://twitter.com/CF11Academy/stat...18298343698434

    Maybe we should start lobbying for American Football type special teams to be introduced for dead ball situations and penalties?

    By George, what a great goal by George.

    One last game, the club website is saying that the under 21s are at home to Crewe this lunchtime - no confirmation of this on any other social media yet, but I'm pretty sure it will be streamed if the match is played today. Hopefully, there'll be confirmation of this later this morning.

    Just to confirm that the game with Crewe is today, kick off 1 o clock at Leckwith and it is being streamed.

    Quite a few members of the Wales under 17 squad starting for the under 21s today.

    Colwill, Ashford, Crole and the rest from the u18s?

    It’s hard to be sure, but I’d say about half of that squad have not played for the under 21s before and ithink you’re probably right about them all being Welsh.

    Pritchard puts City in front from twenty five yards inside the first minute.

    Yes, an enjoyable watch so far - City have some talented lads at the seventeen/eighteen age group.

    Seems like they haven’t put 50p in the meter for the stream - shame that,I was enjoying the game.

    I take it back - just kicked off for the second half.

    Finished 4-2, what a good watch that was to finish the season - good performances all over the pitch by City.

    Some nice football being played, the bits I saw.
    Sees them finish 4th, behind Millwall, Bristol City & Swansea.

    No Antwi, Benjamin and Conte today. Could we assume that's that for them here?

    Don’t think it does for Antwi, I read somewhere recently that the club had taken up the further year option on his contract.

    Wasn't Antwi badly concussed last game? Not sure of the protocols but not surprised if that meant he couldn't play today.

    Although the team was more u18 than u21 wasn't it?
