Cardiff boy Iwan Morgan playing for our hosts
Not exactly what you wanted but here's the Brentford report on it.

A couple of things to take from that. Ashford and Turnbull only played 65 minutes, par for the course for players who are expected to be involved in the next first team squad, so it's interesting that Kpakio also came off then. Reindorf played the whole game, which suggests he won't be involved on Saturday, but I reckon he could play 90 minutes every day of the week and still run home after so I won't rule him out yet.
Also interesting that Will Spiers started today ahead of Jefferies and Nyakuhwa. Spiers is a right back but had an excellent half an hour or so on the wing against Merthyr last week and maybe we're looking to see if he can do that consistently. His pitch time as a right back will be limited with Kpakio there so it's a way of getting both in the team. Two left backs there too with Luey Giles at centre half for now and Tom Davies at left back.
With Josh Beecher out on loan it would seem we've sorted a way of getting all our full backs at that level some pitch time but Jac Thomas will be knocking on the door before long too. Captained the Academy on Saturday and came up with an unusual goal for a full back. It's our first here, a couple for Jake Davies too (our number 10). I haven't seen Dan Ola (9) play but he seems to offer something different.

Thank you for that link
U18 v Jacks tonight. Were 2 nil down now 2 2 and into injury time.
3-2 Cardiff full time
2-0 down with 20 minutes to go. 97th minute winner.
Love it
Yup, scored on 97th minute. https://x.com/cf11academy/status/183...ZQyp-iO2wYo4Kg
Swansea having a player sent off helped, but full credit to the team, they came back from two down to win against the jacks last season as well.
Joseff Edwards and Leeyon Phelan (2) the scorers.
Under different circumstances, the Under 18s and 21s would get more credit for their good starts to the season, but, understandably, it’s the first team getting all of the attention.

Thank you for that
I liked the look of our number 3, who is he?
It took me a few minutes to work out why the ref was blowing and nobody took any notice...
Reindorf starting for the u21s against Sheffield United, so he won't be involved at Hull tomorrow.
2 nil down. Info on SU Developments Twitter.
Finished 2-0 to Sheffield United, quite a strong City team too.
Disappointing but Sheffield United are top of their section with five wins and a draw from six games and a goal difference of 21. They've only let in three so far and two of those were in an 8-2 win over Watford, they also beat Brentford and QPR 6-0 so I won't be shouting Purse Out at the Ipswich game on Tuesday if I make it.
No Luey Giles today so I assume he'll be on the bench tomorrow with Bagan out. Wigley must have picked up another injury, haven't seen his name for a while. Gbadehan, Lawlor and Troy Perrett too but Baylin Johnson was back on the bench today. Haven't seen Cole Fleming's name all season even though he signed a contract in July. We seem a bit injury prone at the moment but I'm not sure how we'd give everyone regular games if they were all fit anyway.
Not a good weekend for senior our age group teams so far, the under 18s are 3-0 down at halftime to QPR.
