It will be interesting to see how the games get prioritised next week with the Academy boys fighting on three fronts. League games against third placed Ipswich and third place (in the northern section) Notts Forest on successive Saturdays with a Monday night DVP game against Sheffield United and Wednesday's FAW Youth Cup semi with Swansea in between. A DVP game at Hull two days after Forest as well.
Although I'd like to see us winning a league, I think the Under 18 squad has shown already that they are the strongest side out of the ten who compete in their division and it seems to me that getting them playing against older opponents should be a priority. That said, Sion Spence started the games on Saturday and Monday and Trystan Jones came on so early in the Development team match that he may as well have done - at that age, playing three or four times in a week shouldn't be too much of a hardship as long as it wasn't week in, week out.

Based on previous experience, City usually want to field their strongest possible side for Youth Cup games or the latter stages of the FAW tournament, so I think the match with the jacks will be given some sort of priority with the question for me being, will the likes of Martin and new signings Bolger and Williams start, because I'm pretty sure they are all eligible for the game.
