An exciting week ahead for the young rovers as the U18s progress into the 3rd Qualifying round of the FA Youth Cup. Following a 2-1 away win over Great Yarmouth U18s earlier this month, the Rovers now face Barking this coming Friday at the Hawthorns, it's a 19:45 kick-off. We heard from U18s Captain, Joe Freathy, with his thoughts ahead of the game: "We, the U18’s, have been on an exciting journey in the FA Youth Cup, and we are more than ready to face a respectable opponent in the upcoming fixture against Barking. We understand it will be a tough challenge, but we couldn’t be more eager to leave a further mark and create a new chapter in the club's history. Our strong run in the FA Youth Cup so far speaks volumes about the team's commitment and dedication to the game. Everyone has consistently delivered solid performances week after week, and their aim is to continue this streak of success together..." "...In addition to our historical FA Youth Cup journey, we recognise the importance of the Thurlow Nunn games as well as the EJA. Winning these matches is crucial if we want to secure the league title for yet another year. Despite a less than ideal start in the Thurlow Nunn league, we are is fully prepared to take on the challenge and strive for a fourth consecutive championship. Together we will come together as the family we are to become stronger each week and achieve all of our goals in all competitions this year!" The Journey so far...

A great day for some of the boys & girls from our youth teams too, definitely lucky mascots for the senior side. Bringing through the next generation of Rovers.
