Town’s U18s fell to their second heavy U18 Premier League defeat of the season as they were beaten 4-0 by Fulham at Motspur Park yesterday.

The young Blues, who had been defeated 5-0 at home by West Brom in their season opener last week, went behind on 16 when Aidan Evans netted his first of the afternoon, his second coming 11 minutes later.

Tarrell Cavell’s cross which deflected off Town defender Archie Brown made it 3-0 two minutes before the hour, then Brodie Dair added the fourth from the penalty spot in the 76th minute.

Town’s XI included 16-year-old midfielder Ziyad Mandey, who was previously with Wolves.

The U18s, who are coached by David Wright and Matt Pooley, are next in action in their first U18 Premier League Cup group game at Nottingham Forest on Tuesday afternoon (KO 3pm).

Meanwhile, the Suffolk Premier Cup first round tie at Hadleigh United has been rescheduled for Tuesday 23rd September (KO 7.45pm). The Blues usually field an U18s side augmented with one or two older players in the tournament.

U18s: Bentley, Brown, Brouwers, Olawole, Mandey (Farrington 62), Wood, Sains, Unadike (Boakye-King 62), Compton (Adebayo 62), Pedder, Eze (Burton-Yurevich 77). Unused: Wreford.

NITFC added 13:09 - Aug 24 Please Town, start developing our own players again. How long has it been since a REALLY top player has come through our academy? Far too long.
