Quite possibly didn't get the chance. Anyway, no Albion side has EVER reached the semi-final of the FA Youth Cup.

Former Albion U-15 Elidon O'Boyle helped Millwall beat Chelsea on penalties tonight and thus progress to the semi-finals of the FA Youth Cup - wonderful achievement.

Elidon O'Boyle helped Millwall U-18s to a 3-0 win at Coventry tonight and they are now through to the quarter-finals of the FA Youth Cup, where they host either Chelsea (his former club) or Palace.

And Jacob has, indeed, signed on as a 1st-year scholar with Albion:- Vickers made his debut for the U-18 side today (Saturday), coming on as a substitute in the 4-0 home win over Stoke City in the group stages of the U-18 Premier League Cup. That brings Albion's scholar intake this campaign...

Paul Hazlewood is the club photographer; the article is written by Bruce Talbot. (I'm loving the fact that in your post about Albion mis-identifying their player, you mis-identify the author!)

I realise I keep quoting myself on this topic but given that nobody else on NSC has any interest in the U-18s, these threads tend to degenerate into the ultimate echo chamber. Oh well. Nehemiah Oriola made his third appearance for the U-18s today (Saturday). I THINK I'm right in saying that a...

This lad started for the U-18s against WBA today, scored in the first half and was substituted at half-time. On the PL app he's shown as "Trialist" so I'm assuming he hasn't officially signed for Albion (yet, at least). One to keep an eye on. Crazy game today - Albion ended up winning 4-3 with...

It won't be any younger or older than every other season; that's sort of how time works.

Apparently the U-21s beat an AFC Bournemouth side 3-1 today in what is presumably their last pre-season friendly, with the season getting underway on Friday with a home fixture against the Champions of Europe.

An Albion U-21 side travel to Hemel Hempstead today (Tuesday). Is anyone going? If so, maybe you could post details of the Albion line-up (pic of a teamsheet maybe) as I doubt the Albion will be covering the game in real time (I'm hoping there will at least be a match report after the game, but...

Updated with the result of the Burgess Hill fixture on Saturday (and the fact that the ground is no longer called the "More Than Tyres Stadium"). The Eastleigh game took place but no idea of the score:- (Kick-off times are local) 1st Team: Training camp in the US? Saturday July 22 Kick-off...

There is one name on that teamsheet that was completely new to me - "Miam Oriola". That, of course, sent my spidey senses into overdrive. I messaged Jem and he kindly took a pic for me:- After a certain amount of searching, I reckon it is Nehemiah Oriola who has been at Manchester United...

The line-up against Worthing included Harry Mills, Sahil Bashir and Bailey Smith. Today's line-up against Eastleigh included Tommy Reid, Charlie Tasker, Leigh Kavangah, Ruari McConville, Harry Mills, Samy Chouchane, Remiero Moulton, Joe Knight, Benicio Baker-Boaitey, Marcus Ifill and Joshua Duffus.

Updated with news of the U-21s' fixture against Eastleigh tomorrow:- (Kick-off times are local) 1st Team: Training camp in the US? Saturday July 22 Kick-off: 7:00pm v Chelsea (Venue: Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia) Wednesday July 26 Kick-off: 5:30pm v Brentford (Venue: Mercedes-Benz...

There's no secret - I simply do a huge amount of research. I do very occasionally get a little tidbit of information from someone that might be in the know, but 99% comes from doing the legwork. You'd be amazed at what info is actually out there, but obviously most people don't have the time or...

I have seen a suggestion today that Albion are also interested in Luton Town centre-back Jacob Vickers. He would be a first-year scholar for 2023-24.

Nine of last season's U-16s were offered scholarships, and we now know that Liverpool U-16 striker Joe Belmont has joined as a scholar. So, the ten 1st-year scholars I am aware of:- Joe Belmont Layth Gulzar Ronnie Gorman Matthew Hayden Josh Lewis Callum Mackley Alfie Mansell (GK) Corbin Mthunzi...

An update:- (Kick-off times are local) 1st Team: Training camp ? Saturday July 22 Kick-off: 7:00pm v Chelsea (Venue: Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia) Wednesday July 26 Kick-off: 5:30pm v Brentford (Venue: Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta) Friday July 28 Kick-off: 7:30pm v Newcastle...

Albion U-18s lost 3-0 at Cambridge United U-18s on Saturday. No word from the Albion, of course, but the Cambridge United instagram account posted a few pictures taken by @izzypolessportsphotography Here's one example, showing from left to right U-16 Theo Outen and new scholars Corbin Mthunzi...
