The U18s are playing Watford in the area final of the Youth Alliance Cup on Wednesday @ The Mem, ko 7pm. A win could get them into the national final. £3 adults £1 concessions. http://www.bristolrovers.co.uk/news/article/youth-alliance-area-final-723392.aspx Team sheet at the turnstile, bar and pasty hut open in the West Stand. The U18s have had a great season under Alan Walsh. Come along and support the lads, many of whom are now knocking on the door of the first team (Harrison has already kicked it in!).
we always seem to do well at youth level but for some reason hardly any step up. but we do have some good prospects here, clarke, harrison, harding, santos, lockyer and goddard - all who has had some minutes at 1st team level. also add hunter if anyone knows whats going on with him. future is bright.
Just giving this a bump up as the game's tomorrow: http://www.bristolrovers.co.uk/news/article/youth-alliance-area-final-723392.aspx With only two more first team home games it's also a chance to get another game in before the play-offs!
i wont be there so hopefully whoever does go, leaves us a report to find out the scores and how the team played etc.
tonights line up.... Rovers: Matt Macey, Josh Southway, Pat Keary, Trey Anderson, Danny Greenslade, Tom Lockyer, Alefe Santos, Dominic Thomas, Shaquille Hunter, Jamie Lucas, Sam Kamara. Substitutes: Connor Finn, Marcus Beauchamp, Laurent Mondo, Chad Douglas, Aaron Ward-Baptiste whoever wins tonight face carlisle u18's in the final
taken from twitter.... "Goalless after ten minutes. Fairly even though Watford created the best chance" "Pat Keary heads straight at keeper from corner" "Chances few and far between but Jamie Lucas just headed wide for Rovers" "Sam Kamara limps off replaced by Laurent Mondo. Still goalless" "Both sides struggling to get to grips with a bobbly pitch and strong wind" "Half time at the Mem and its still 0-0" "Second half underway" "Dominic Thomas wide with left foot volley"
Messages from players on Twitter.... Lockyer: Won the youth alliance area cup. #better #UTG Harrison: Very good from the youth team.. One final won! Another to win! Love it lads! #BRFC Goddard: Well done to the boys winning the youth alliance cup well deserved played well on a cold night
OS match report: http://www.bristolrovers.co.uk/news...at-watford-751670.aspx?pageView=full#anchored Similar to Saturday's first team game v York. Cold, windy and bouncy pitch. Watford edged the first half, then we came on strong in second. Fans Forum group made Trey Andersen MoM. I was impressed (again) by Jamie Lucas and Tom Lockyer. Hunter has gone off the boil...glimpses of quality but no consistency. Now a final v Carlisle, venue tbc.
