Crowe's Wales Draw as Berra Left on Bench
Wednesday, 28th May 2014 21:58

Town keeper Michael Crowe was in the Wales U19 side which drew 1-1 with Belgium in the opening game of their Euro 2014 elite qualifying group in Portugal this afternoon.

Cardiff’s Thomas O'Sullivan put the Welsh youngsters, who are coached by ex-Blues midfielder Geraint Williams, in front in the 38th minute but Belgian skipper François Marquet equalised on 63.

The Wales U19s next face hosts Portugal on Friday and then Greece next Monday. The winners of the group go through to this summer’s finals in Hungary.

Crowe tweeted: "Good 1-1 draw against Belgium, into the next one against Portugal on Friday."

London-born Crowe, whose father is English and mother Norwegian, joined the Blues in the summer of 2012 from Kristiansand-based side IK Start, having been brought up in Norway. He qualifies for Wales through his grandmother.

The 18-year-old, a second-year academy scholar during 2013/14, signed a two-year professional contract in September and has been on the first team bench on a couple of occasions, most recently at Watford.

Meanwhile, Blues centre-half Christophe Berra was left on the bench as Scotland drew 2-2 with Nigeria in a friendly at Craven Cottage.

@groovyASH - That's only when he is in this universe...
On another note, i hear that Neil Alexander has been released by Palace, great keeper when he was here, maybe we could get him back...on a free too!?!?

Super Cooper ... Alexander could be a great shout as cover and experience , I see Westwood has been released by Sunderland , I always thought he was a good keeper ?
Or Speroni or Schwarzer !!

Or Marek Steck, he'd be a good signing too.

Or Ben Williams, out of contract at Hib's not being offered a new deal as they have to slash costs. Alexander bit old now?

Berra would have prevented the 2nd Nigerian goal with ease. Silly selecting, Gordon.

Was at the Scotland/Nigeria game last night. Exactly what I thought, Abujablue. Disappointed not to see him used. Seemed a bit of a waste.
