How does eligibility work for the U17 Premier League Cup? I've noticed Donley played in the semi-final, despite being 18 and in his final year as a scholar. I'd have assumed this competition excluded final years.

Edit: Abbott and Dorrington started also. I'm assuming there's a limit of three u18s, with the rest of the team being u17s or below?

There's a cut off date, rather there used to be but I'll be honest other than catching up in here I don't follow the youth or the rules. Back in the day 23 year olds used to play in the U21s as a result.

It’s to do with date of birth. I think it’ll be Luca, Alfie Dorrington, George Abbott and Jamie.

Any of you guys heading up tonight?

Club has finally loaded academy 1st year profiles onto official site. Some interesting snippets I wasn’t aware of before.

- Tyrese Hall and Archie Chaplin joined us from Chelsea. Archie with them until U14’s. Good pick ups those.

- James Rowswell - Has made appearances for England at U16 level

- Elliot Krasniqi - Had work experience loans this season at Hertford Town and Waltham Abbey

- Pele Arganese-McDermott was born in Marbella and Carey Bloedorn in Karachi Pakistan
