Extra time about to start
Yes!!! Albion win 5-4 on penalties!
Goalkeeper Roco Rees saved two in the shoot-out. Ted Jenks put his penalty miss in extra-time behind him to score in the shoot-out.
They conceded after 6 minutes and sounds like they were under the cosh for the first half-hour, but really battled and emerged triumphant. Well done lads!
When's the draw for the next round?

How many teams are there?
I was at this game and can confirm it was a very good match. West Ham had the majority of the play in the first half and had a lot of pace in their team. Albion improved after half-time and would have deserved a win in normal time. In extra time there were chances for both sides but the deadlock couldn't be broken. The were some stern challenges throughout the game but apart from the odd square-up the game was played in good spirit. I urge anybody, if they can, to attend u18 games (indeed the u23s too) as there are some talented young lads on our books.
For me, on Monday's showing, we have a real prospect in Haydon Roberts at CB. I don't remember him putting a foot wrong, he has plenty of pace and seems to read the game very well. I shall watch his progress with interest
As I understand it, Albion (and possibly some or all other clubs) do not allow members of the public at the training ground to watch U-18 matches.
The only exception would be any FA Youth Cup matches staged at the Amex.
