Wait ... we have a player called Zebedee? Hope he makes it to the top, just for the name.
Albion U-16s win their semi-final in a penalty shoot-out.

They scored a late leveller to make it 1-1 after 70 minutes (they are playing 35 minute halves). Straight to penalties.

Unfortunately Zebedee had his penalty saved, but the other side put one wide and then goalkeeper Stan Williamson saved the last spot kick to put the Albion through to the final 4-3

He'll bounce back from that

Looks the u21s played Bordeaux

A week later, and Albion would have been looking for alternative opponents :ohmy:

Looks like the U-16s will be watchable via BBC iPlayer and the BBC app tomorrow, 8pm:-

Shocking how a club like that can just go to the wall

Not entirely sure what the two games thing is about but looks like we lost to Bromley twice

Neither of those players is wearing a BHA kit...did they just borrow our facilities for this odd two-hander?
The other team is Maidstone but that doesn’t look like the training centre.

Updates from the weekend:-

After a week-long training camp in Spain, the Albion U-18s faced Futbol Base Elche CF on Friday at Campoamor. Based upon this photo, the Albion starting XI was:-

Alfie Mansell; Matthew Hayden, Tate Ferdinand, Isaiah Alakiu, Theo Outen; Jesse Middleton, Shane Nti, Darius Lane; Tyler Silsby, Aidan West, Nehemiah Oriola.

And based upon this photo (which I think was also taken on Friday), the squad included goalkeeper Finley Taylor, Billy Cullinane and Seb Ademola (with Will Rutter as a non-playing goalkeeper):-

Interestingly, a number of the scholar-age players were instead involved in the two 60-minute games for the Albion U-21s against Bromley at the training ground on Saturday (as per the report on the club website) - Corbin Mthunzi, Jacob Vickers, Layth Gulzar, Callum Mackley and Harry Howell.
