Youth Date Set

Action from last season's final won by Villa against Everton
As yet there is no news as to when the Lancashire Youth Cup tie will take place against Tranmere Rovers but our FA Youth Cup 3rd round tie against Crystal Palace will take place on Wednesday 27th November. It will be played on the Turf with a 7:00 p.m. kick off.

A reserve game away to Rotherham was scheduled for that date but the FA Youth Cup must take precedence and so it is almost certain this game will be postponed to a later date.

Last season saw us go out at this stage to Manchester City at Maine Road and once again we have been given a tough tie against Palace who have been impressive in recent years at youth level.

We have won the competition on one occasion in 1967/68, beating Coventry in the final, and have twice since reached the semi-finals in both 1970/71 and 1977/78.
