Images from Bearwood as our U18 squad get ready to take on Bromley this week...
It's that time of the year again - our Under-18 squad are getting ready to embark on their FA Youth Cup campaign as we get ready for a Third Round tie away at Bromley on Thursday evening (7.45pm kick-off).
Under the stewardship of Michael Donaldson and Mikele Leigertwood, our youngsters will head into London to take on a Bromley side who defeated Barnet and Lewes to set up a second-round tie with Forest Green Rovers - and staged a stunning turnaround in the final few minutes to set up a tie with the Royals.
Last year, we were handed an especially tough tie - in the final throes of the game, we lost 4-3 to Aston Villa. A heartbreaking end to a game, which would be the first step on Villa's journey to lifting the trophy at the end of the season!
We'll be aiming to get over the first hurdle on Thursday evening against the Ravens - take a look at our gallery above, as our youngsters prepare to get the campaign started.
