The U17s thrashed Millwall's youngsters 7-0 at the weekend. Town were five-up at the break and added two more in the second period. Goals came from Darren Bent, a hat-trick, Matt Bloomfield, Steve Burton, Guy Bonwick and Robert Dickinson.
All these are stalwarts of the Youth Cup side who play the second leg of the semi-final with Arsenal on May 9th (KO 7pm) and seem to be in pretty good nick.
