The youngsters drew 1-1 with WDSL (Waterford District Schoolboys League) yesterday and managed a similar scoreline against Celtic today. The young Blues complete their group fixtures with a game against Leeds United this evening before the tournament enters its knockout stage on Friday.

Meanwhile, Town's U16s played a friendly with Southend United yesterday, the Blues running out 4-1 winners with Jordan Pavett netting twice and midfielder Billy Clark and Irish forward Ronan Murray scoring the other two.
