Connolly had a chance, Brighton played a team of youngsters in the league cup. Norwich are playing Chelsea in the cup, so I doubt they'll put out a weakened side.
Two Irish goalscorers in Tuesday's U18 clash between Wolves and Liverpool: Daniel McKenna for Wolves and Glen McAuley for Liverpool: https://www.premierleague.com/match/...es-v-liverpool It was McAuley's fourth in four games and his eighth in all competitions this season. And yet he's been a sub on a number of occasions recently. Hopefully, Steven Gerrard will take note of his recent form and give him more game time, as well as recommending him for a move to the next level
McKenna's goal is supposed to be a cracking finish.
Liamoo you probably know the answer to this, but is the Idah boy playing for Cork 15s (and College Corinthians) related to the Idah at Norwich? Because the younger lad is banging the goals in for the Cork 15s.
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
Yeah they're brothers. He's expected to go League of Ireland U15 with either Cork or Cobh in 2018. He's come on hugely in the last few months.Originally Posted by Kingdom
Thanks Cobhlad, I assumed they were related. I've had reason to be watching a lot of the SFAI social media in the past while (it is very comprehensive - has it always been the case?) and he is featuring heavily, so I fully expected him to be featuring in the National League with one of your crew down there.

SFAI have really upped their game on social media of late which is great to see. I watched him at the trials for Cobh's u15 team last season and he didn't impress but he seems to have put a lot of work in since then. Definitely one to keep an eye on
Jonathan Afolabi and Michael Obafemi returned to Southampton's U18s and were both on the scoresheet. Afolabi and Will Smallbone also provided assists: https://www.premierleague.com/match/...ton-v-west-ham

mcguinness the centre half made his first appearence of season after injury for arsenal he will be good addition for our 17s . mceneff has been injured all season so far for arsenal unfortunately

Nice one... so that brings the list of young strikers to watch to what... 50? Seriously, surely some of them will survive the Academy culls, won't they?
Ryan Cassidy got a brace for Watford U18s yesterday, bringing his tally to 14 in 13 league games: https://twitter.com/SJ_Cassidy/statu...31709115777025
A goal, an assist and a successful shoot-out penalty for Adam Idah as Norwich U18s exited the U18 Premier League Cup at the hands of Arsenal on Saturday: https://www.arsenal.com/fixture/unde...8-match-report
Great to see mceneff back from injury he will be big addition to our 17 s for the qualifiers
Got an assist tonight against West Ham but the big news from our point of view is that Armstrong Okoflex got a goal and assist https://www.premierleague.com/match/...-ham-v-arsenal What was it Liam Brady was saying a while back about no Irish players in the Arsenal academy?
Meanwhile, Rowan Roache kept his scoring record going with a deflected free kick for Blackpool U18s against Ipswich in the FA Youth Cup: https://www.blackpoolfc.co.uk/news/2...uarter-finals/

Got a first run out with warlord 23s yesterday
Brilliant.
Connolly, Afolabi, Obafemi, Idah, Roache and now Cassidy...all strikers who still qualify for Under-18s...all have played U23 and/or First Team football this season
And we can now add McAuley to that list - not only that, he got Liverpool's goal as they lost 2-1 to Stoke - https://www.premierleague.com/match/...erpool-v-stoke
U18 league isn't it?
Aw, dammit! Sorry, got that one completely wrong - well, at least he's still scoring
