This Thursday, our U18’s side take on Lewes U18’s in the Sussex Bluefin Dennis Probee Youth Cup Final at Culver Road (Sussex HQ) – 7:15pm kick off.

Manager, Paul Fowler, said: “To get to the final is a great achievement with the teams that are in the competition – top teams like Whitehawk, Lewes, Worthing. For about eight of our players, it will be their last game for the under-18s as they are stepping up to the under-23s so it is brilliant for them. The County Cup is a massive competition.”

“We are giving young players opportunities and it shows as there is a young lad, aged 19, who has just got into the first team. It shows if you work hard you will get a chance.”

Paul continued, “We had an under-23 game last week and we had seven or eight under-18s playing, so it is good for the club. Two of the boys on the bench were 16-year-olds who have just come over. It shows it is working from getting players to the club and producing them for the under-23s. It is a good set-up. We are giving young players opportunities and it shows as there is a young lad, aged 19, who has just got into the first team. It shows if you work hard you will get a chance.”

For the club, this is the second of three Sussex Cup Finals of the season; with our Ladies side and First Team also making it all the way.

Get yourself down to Culver Road and support our club’s next generation.
