Town’s U18s progressed to the quarter-finals of the FA Youth Cup after defender Albie Armin netted an 84th-minute winner as they defeated Middlesbrough 1-0 at Bishop Auckland's Heritage Park in round five this afternoon.

Boro are the second category one academy side the Blues have knocked out of the competition following the defeat of Fulham in round three.

Town will face Sheffield United or Bristol City - who meet next Saturday - at home in the quarter-finals. That match has to be played before Saturday 1st May.

The Blues have won the FA Youth Cup on three occasions, in 1973, 1975 and 2005.

U18s: Bort, Wyss, Stewart, Baggott, Armin, Humphreys, Alexander, Cutbush, Gibbs, Valentine, Siziba. Subs: Ridd, Bradshaw, Bello, Agbaje, Chirewa, Barbrook, Manly.

Upthetown1970 added 19:46 - Apr 10 Real shame we couldn't watch the u18's today. Great win against another cat 1 team. I've been informed by friends at the club that Gibbs was outstanding today. Baggott, Alexander, Valentine and Cutbush also having solid games. A massive achievement for the academy again. A fantastic team effort well done lads.
