Final score - 3-0 to us. The next round, against Man United, won't be at Old Trafford though. It has to be played before 15th December.

Thats good news. The Brighton youth team success story might reach a all time high in the next round.

Are any of them actually any good? They seem to have had some mixed results in the league.

Two years ago there were some excellent players - Rents, Lynch, Fraser, Elphick....even Gatting was OK at youth level. Last year a little less so - Gargan & Cobbs stood out though. Not sure about this lot....but when you look at the first team and regularly see 6 or 7 home grown products, you have to admire the quality of our youth set up, and I'm sure it's still producing.

Indeed. Considering our youth setup was ignored for so long under the Archer/Stanley/Belotti regime, it is a credit to the club that we have pushed on. It can only help us for the future if potential stars realise that they will get a game at this club, even if that is a knock on effect of not being able to afford mass amounts of incoming players!

Kane Louis, Andrew Pearson and Brinkhurst look pretty good and have all played in the reserves with the senior players.

[NS Herald]

Come on you Seagulls..........

Shame the Manure game isn't at Withers but this just shows how we are still producing good local talent we can take real pride in.

Well done to ALL concerned

Steve Brinkhurst is the son of a good mate of mine and has been a class act for a long time.

He wont be at Brighton for very long....It wouldnt surprise me to see him at a top london club

Great stuff. We might be shown live or espically highlights might be shown on MUTV.
