Wilhoft like a twig out there.
BTW I may have made a mistake - it might be u16 winger Tynan Torres Thompson making his debut at this level rather than GK Dylan Thompson.
Whichever Thompson it was made his u18 debut by subbing Olusesi in last few mins of match.
I guess we find out in OS reports of match who it was !
We lost 4-3 and drop to 5th with Fulham going 4th, but we have 2 matches in hand over Fulham
I swear there is a direct correlation with 18s defeats and subsequent first team games.
This match has been a regular bit of fun.
Spurs u16's (schoolboys) v MK Dons u17's (first year full time academy) at their place - its rare to see a Spurs u16 team named or play in a public competition these days - and playing a side who are a year older is definitely good for their development .

Sunday 12 May at midday .
If anyone is living close, be delighted to hear reports.
In previous years Spurs have fielded a side mainly of u16's (next seasons first year academy) together with a few u15's and even u14's.

I've not seen a notification of the date for the u21 match v Crystal Palace postponed last month due to a water logged pitch but am told this has been re-arranged for Monday 29 April @ 19.00.
That will be the last of our 4 remaining u21 matches of the regular PL2 season before Spurs get into a playoff involving the top 16 sides - which we have already qualified.
Play off will be 1st v 16th, 2nd v 15th etc. Dates to be announced, but inevitably will be in May !
Also we are already guaranteed to finish in the top 12 of PL2 which means we are invited to compete in PL International Cup next season - half teams from PL2 half from continent.

Malachi Hardy captains the England u16s today against Belgium. Byfield also starts with Blake Irow on the bench.
