Being the holders, hopefully the club/local media will be better at reporting on the matches played this season.

Last season, it was a struggle to find info on the games played. Especially the group stages.

I see my favourite player Indiana Vassilev created both goals for the U18  Monday night? Has already bee on the subs bench for the U23, i understand

Just out of curiosity and prompted by the above, you do know that my table in the top post shows who has played in each game? Vassilev came on as a sub in game 1 hence the 'o' beside his name.

Yes - I saw that after I posted

Team for today's 1pm kickoff.

A first start for Walker & O'Hare.  Odutayo makes his first matchday squad of the season and Cox drops to the bench after starting the 2 previous games.

I was on another tab when it went in.  Missed it by seconds.  Stupid no-replay coverage.

Probably the best own goal ever scored . 

Once in  blue moon type of thing.

I forgot you could just drag the bar and rewind the match for yourself.  #cabbage.

Šarkić can take a bow for that calamitous equaliser.

[Brumerican]

I could have sworn we sent O'Hare on loan.

We did, but that doesn't prevent U23 appearances.

Just checking there and I don't think the move to Barnsley was completed, so perhaps he's not on loan.  Although my previous statement is also still the case. 

[BOF]

That'll do.  2-1 win.

I was at the game today with Noel, there were quite a lot of people there for an u23 match. In the end, we won 2-1 an OG and can’t remember who scored the other one, no doubt someone will put me right. We lined up with Sarkic in goal who was solid apart from their goal which he made a mistake for. We had Jake Walker at right back who was solid throughout, very dependable, solid in defence and can also carry an attacking threat. We had Isiah Bazely-Graham at centre back who was excellent, I was very impressed by him. Jacob Bedeau played alongside him, he was superb, my man of the match, great potential there, potential first team quality in my opinion. Dominic Revan played at left back and acquitted himself well, he’s usually a centre back but he played well out of position. Callum O’Hare played at right wing unusually for him but played well regardless. Jake Doyle-Hayes played at central midfield and as usual always puts in a shift, he’s industrious and tidy in his work. Jack Clarke played off Kelsey Mooney, he always impresses me, very good talent. Harvey Knibbs played left wing and worked very hard for the team. Kelsey Mooney played up top and played well.

Jordan Cox scored our winner from a Dominic Revan cross.
