FA Youth Cup tonight vs. Soham Town Rangers (a)

Paddy Powell

Off the back of a 2-1 defeat at the weekend, our youngsters travel to Cambridgeshire tonight.

There should be plenty of regular updates. Soham have an active twitter account and I'm sure one or two CAFC related accounts will post, too.

In other U18s news, it was good to see that Harry Osbourne was fit enough to be on the bench on Saturday. After suffering a double leg break in preseason, I thought he'd be out a lot longer.

He's already signed a pro deal with us, so it's an important time for him.

On paper the gulf in class was massive and it seems to be playing out that way.

2-0 up and gone close on a few other occasions.

Azeez hatrick.

FULL TIME - 9-0

Azeez (3), Harriott (3), Sho-Silva (2) and Gerrard with the goals (Edit - a goal earlier credited to Azeez was actually scored by Sho-Silva).

The woodwork was struck on at least two occasions and their keeper made a few good saves.

They are at home in the next round.

Great stuff ! Hope one or two will be at the NWKA meeting on Thursday night so we can congratulate them personally.

Give Azeez and Harriot a place in the Squad on Sunday. 7 Subs isn't it ?

Thought you'd put up better resistance than that @scoham :-)

Good news.

Scoham

I thought 9-0 was decent considering I was literally a 1 man team?

Great win, good to know Osborne made an appearance. Agree with others would be nice see 1 or 2 of them make the bench on Sunday. Hopefully they'll get a home draw next so they get a chance to play at The Valley.

I love the way most of our players are quite a bit taller than most of theirs.
What a player Harriott will be.

Please take a look at the " FA Youth Cup 1st Round" thread.

 

I thank you.

Think your right, he looks class.

Thanks for that, Paddy.

Just watched it and there are some handy looking players in there.  They were playing some good footy as well - it bodes well for the future!
