He is in his second scholar year with us. Has spent a fair amount of time injured.

Last season he only made 11 appearances for the U-18s but did score 6 goals (all 6 goals came in a run of 5 successive starts through February and March). He hadn't made his first start until January 12th, with only two sub appearances before December. He made one appearance for the development squad last season, scoring as a sub against Eastbourne Town in the SSC in February.

At the start of this season he was injured again. He has two goals in 5 appearances for the U-18s this term and has started the last couple of matches for the development squad.

We signed him from Coleraine. He became their youngest ever first team scorer when he netted (at the age of 15) in their North-West Cup semi-final against Moyola Park in September 2017. He is a Northern Ireland U-17 international. The Albion website reported on September 1st this year that he had been called up to the NI U-19 squad but his injury forced his withdrawal. He hasn't been capped since he has been with us.

Thanks for that you’re a font of knowledge mate

Are we definitely at home?
I thought I’d read somewhere that U21s could only play away until the two legged semi-finals

Adam El-Abd to return to the Amex ?

Or even Mackail-Smith.

Apart from that, who do we want at The Amex?

Wonder if Ipswich would bring a banner again? How the mighty have fallen. Oh well.

It would be interesting to see this in terms of our progression. A decent and really improved player in his later years for us up against our youth team hot shots

Cashman v El Abd

Also how would Haydon Roberts handle CMS?

When is the draw this Saturday.

Is it possible we get a home tie, I also thought all these fixtures are played away.

BeHereNow · Nov 16, 2019

Newport at home.

That's a shame I was hoping for a big club away, so we can tick off another stadium.

Dolph Ins · Nov 16, 2019

Should be a nice amount of loyalty points and similar team to caramac cup.

Was always going to be at home.

Sorry.

Kalimantan Gull · Nov 16, 2019

I've been to enough paint pot games in my life to be willing us to win it this time. Come on boys!

Sorry.

He doesn't mean it was destiny, [MENTION=435]Stat Brother[/MENTION]; we're at home because we won the group.

Will be played at a ghostly Amex, too. Hopefully, Lord Bracknell will be looking on from above.

I'm not so sure. The one noticeable thing about the club's tweet today was:-

[TWEET]1195705391692353536[/TWEET]

"Further information, including the date, venue and ticket details..."

Sounds like the club might have registered The People's Pension Stadium as their home venue (otherwise why else mention it?).

Sheebo · Nov 17, 2019

Knew this would happen

Horton's halftime iceberg · Nov 17, 2019

Lord Bracknell would have been savoring this one if he was still with us. From chatting to him at u23/reserve games over the years, these were his beloved teams.

Could NSC club together and sponsor it or the ball or the boot laces in his name.

Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
