Verygood group coming through I'd be surprised if 6 of them didn't make it!
8 of tonight's side have played the first team. We're in an excellent youth cycle again from U-16's level up.
L'pool complete the double as Everton lose their Cup Final, at any level, AGAIN. 2-1. Ojo and Trent the scorers in a typically feisty affair.

Very enjoyable season with the Lancashire Senior Cup Final still to come. Would have been nice to win it but all that ultimately matters is developing first team players and with two first team games to go this year Trent has gotten 12 appearances under his belt in a wonderful season with young Ben 8. With the boss moment for him in becoming the club's youngest-ever scorer against Leeds. Just a pity Ejaria, Grujic and Ojo have all had injury-ruined seasons or I'm sure they'd of got more game time. Along with the returning Gomez. Throw in Harry Wilson's making his debut, and all those players now training full time at Melwood with the first team group, and it's been a very productive season indeed at 23's level. Rhian Brewster's rapid rise has just capped it off. If we do indeed get £10 million for Kev Stewart off Brighton that pays for the running of the academy another few years by itself.
Looking forward to seeing who makes a big jump this coming pre-season like Ejaria and Woodburn did last. Harry Wilson looks primed for that after his 28 goal, double-figure assist brilliant year along with the likes of Ryan Kent retuning from a year the Championship at Barnsley after being voted their young player of the year and Chiravella's excellent displays in Holland the past 5 months.
