Shoreham v Brighton under 18's

[Deanbha]

Kick off 3pm at middle road Shoreham. £2.50 entrance for season ticket holders. Going to go down to see the future.

Be interesting to hear how this goes.
Men v Boys

 

[Rookie]

3-0 at half time ( I think, may have missed one), pretty dominant from the 18s

 

[TSB]

FT?

FT?

Extra Time then penalties

 

[Rookie]

4-1 (thought I'd missed one and Twitter confirms it). Second half was a bit more competitive and lots of changes

The team. Mulumby was the stand out for me. Constantly wanted the ball and a little bit of aggression. Likes a moan though. Got taken off before he was sent off I think.
Also impressed with the centre back Cadman, up a against a huge bloke and dealt with him very well (until he scored near the end!).
Looked like a 4-2-3-1 with lots of passing and movement

Many thanks for posting this.

Interesting to see that we gave a trial to Richie Welch (although I don't know if he came on or not). He played for Lewes last week as a sub against Albion. He came up with the Eastbourne Borough academy (where he was Player of the Season), moving to Lewes this summer to link up again with new Lewes assistant manager Jay Lovett (previously academy director at Sports). Can apparently play in defence or midfield. He was dual-signed with Horsham last season and is already 19, so would be one for the DS rather than the youth team if he was taken on.

Finished 1-4 to Brighton. The gulf in class was obvious. Second half very even, Luis Garcia looks class as does our number 7 Ajiboye.

Isn't it pretty impressive for a bunch of 16 -18 year olds to be beating a team of adults, who presumably aren't great but organised and have ability to some degree?

My nephew was playing for Shoreham, and he's only 16.

Yes,especially as most county players are ex pro's who have had to drop down the football pyramid.

Fair enough were Shoreham an U18s team as well then? That makes more sense.

Not sure tbh.

No far from it. Maybe average age of 26, the striker for Shoreham, Toby someone? He was decent but only 17 apparently.

That's him. Glad to hear he was decent

Or 15 years old in Molumby's case.
