A couple of housekeeping notes: this season there is both an U-18 Premier League Cup AND an U-17 Premier League Cup (last season the U-17 PLC was introduced but the U-18 PLC competition was not held).
In the U-18 PLC Albion have been drawn in Group E with Norwich, Middlesbrough and Sunderland - full draw details are available on the very good youthhawk website - 2021-22 Under-18 Premier League Cup
In the U-17 PLC competition [reminder - current holders and, so far, only winners --------> Brighton and Hove Albion] Albion have been drawn in Group A with Chelsea, Reading and Southampton - 2021-22 Under-17 Premier League Cup
The match dates for the U-17 PLC are Sep 28/29, Oct 26/27 and Nov 23/24:-

The U-17 PLC competition is held as a midweek tournament and the groups are regionalised to reduce travelling. Up to four 2nd-year scholars (U-18s) can play in each match in the competition, one goalkeeper and three outfield players.
As an aside: the U-23 Premier League Cup competition is already underway and Albion are not involved (and Arsenal are the only "Greedy Six" academy playing in the competition). This may mean that Albion will play in the Premier League International Cup once again, but I have heard no information about that tournament this season so far.

Looks like a new academy centre back signing for the Albion:

Glad he's got his Mum with him she's old enough for me to fancy.

Very positive on this one. We have a history of producing good CBs so must be a big talent to bring one in.

Just seen this in the Norwich City Academy twitter feed.

3-1 now, but well done the lads so far. After watching the superb U23 performance last night, wish we could see a bit more of the U18s too.
Still 3-1 - but a straight red card for captain Ben Jackson could make the last few minutes a bit fraught!

These aren't the players you're looking for.

So that's 2 hatricks in 4 games this season.
Emmerson is actually a couple of months older than Ferguson, despite playing in the lower age group.
Fingers crossed they both make the breakthrough.
Interesting fact from transfermarkt.
On 22 October 2019, Emmerson became the second youngest player in English Football League history, coming on as a substitute for Oldham Athletic against Walsall, aged 15 years 73 days.

Anyone (AZ Gull) know who Zane Albarus is? He was recorded as on the bench for the last u18s game vs Norwich and isn't a name I have seen before.

He was also a new name for me, so you weren't alone. Turns out he's an U-16 from Milton Keynes. Played for a club called Tattenhoe Youth in MK before joining MK Dons in 2014.
His instagram account states "BHAFC", so presumably he's signed on and not just a trialist. I'm not sure when he moved to Albion but I would suspect it is fairly recently (possibly this season).

Guess the club felt you needed a challenge! Not that you appear to of found it challenging... Thanks for that.

First game of the u17s cup was yesterday. Didn't show much details on the club website other than the result 4-2 win vs Chelsea. Youthhawk provided more though -

That's an excellent result against Chelsea.
