Went to Soham Town Rangers, last night to watch the FA Youth cup game. Great non-league ground, with a excellent club house and facilities. Bumped into several other Charlton supporters.
The game, well, 1 goal up in three minutes, 2 up in nine, 3 up in fourteen. Half-time 4-0. Our keeper, Dillon Phillips, had thirteen touches of the ball, all from back passes. Second half, we scored in 80 seconds and finally ran out 9-0 winners, having hit the post and cross bar several times. Dare I say, a bit one sided and not the greatest game I've seen. The home fans had turned out in force - 509 attendance, average home '1st team' crowd 100+ - hoping to see a shock result, you could here a pin drop! Totally out played.
Farnborough Town or Yeovil in round two at home, date to be announced. It would be good to see us get a decent turn out for this game.

Very impressive.
You can get to meet a couple of the u 18's on Thursday evening at the NWKA Academy Q & A meeting, along with Paul Hart , Steve Avory & Rhys Williams.
Will hopefully know by tomorrow afternoon which lads are coming along. Your support & interest would be greatly appreciated.
I'll bump the other thread for more details.
Nah, it's from a free kick.
