Enjoyed that; rarely get a chance to see the scholars and young pros in action. Perhaps most impressed by the youngest lad on show, Teddy Hoare. Pleased to see Reece Meekums on the pitch after some injury issues over the last 12 months, thought he looked very lively.
Our U-16s played one last month and our development squad played one the month before. These matches come along more frequently than Southern Rail trains.
It's basically an U-18 friendly. Can't say I'm surprised by the lack of coverage by Albion; regular U-18 league matches get a report put up on the official site days after the match, why would this be any different?
