    Good news, great to test them in men’s football.

    Can they play each other?

    No, Senior Cup for the U21s and Senior Trophy, a lesser standard, for the U18s.

    Is this a bit like Palace and Lyon?

    Can't have two teams with the same owners in the same competition?

    Obviously, London FA competitions are more important.

    Senior Trophy is full of teams like Bridon Ropes and Meridian VP (so could get a Charlton derby) or Lewisham Borough - teams a bit further down the pyramid.

    The draw for the LFA Senior Trophy was made yesterday and the Under 18s have been drawn away to Sporting Hackney. This is new territory for our youngsters, and it will be interesting to find out whether their youth, fitness and professional coaching will be enough to see them through against older and more experienced opposition.

    They groundshare with Barking, another ground worth a visit.

    It's nearly in Wales. 

    Will wait till we get a local team.

    May end up being of interest to anyone who doesn't fancy the trip to Preston:

    Sporting Hackney v Charlton Athletic under-18
    Saturday 4 October, 3pm kickoff.

    I don't know if that's a completely-fixed schedule - all the fixtures in round 1 have the same date and time but I'm not sure if that's a rule or if it's open to negotiation.

    If we make it to the second round that's 15 November away at the winner of "Rising Ballers Kensington" v Clapton Community.

    Rising Ballers of Kensington have been favourite non-league team for some time.

    Barking have an Essex Senior league home fixture on 4 Oct, so unless its played at 12:30 or 6 it won't be on that date.

    Looking back at last year's competition, it looks like some clubs moved games to Friday nights or Sunday afternoons to avoid clashes, while others moved games a week forward or back. It's not as flexible as the Senior Cup that the under-21s play in, which is played midweek evenings, but there should be options.

    Ah so that is why they got knocked out of the League Cup tonight- focus on the bigger prizes  B)

    According to Sporting Hackney's Instagram page their one home game so far this season was at Douglas Eyre Sports Centre, which is a multi-pitch place near Blackhorse Lane tube. Nothing on any of our channels as yet, but what else is new. Looks like Saturday 4 October, and 3pm kickoff unless they decide different.

    It'll be unusual to play this as normally midweek.  However, it may put a few more on the gate, every little helps.

    The match against Sporting Hackney has been postponed from this Saturday as the Under 18s now have a league match. The new date is still to be arranged.

    Following most of the first round games being played, we now know that the winner of our game at Sporting Hackney will be away at Clapton Community.
