Match Thread U18s against Sheffield Wednesday (1 Viewer)

SlowerThanPlatt · Apr 21, 2017

Thought it may be useful to have a match thread of its own (like Arsenal FAYC game) as seems quite a lot of supporters are planning on attending.

CCFC v Shef Weds U18s tomorrow in the semi-final, noon kick off at Alan Higgs Centre, free entry. Winner of the tie will play either Charlton or Shef Utd in the final. This game is just one leg, so extra time and penalties could follow if there isn't a winner after 90/120 mins. CCFC have won 16 out of last 17 games but SWFC beat us 3-0 earlier in the season so it's finely poised.

Expect Jason Farndon to go with the following side:

Skuza

Hickman
Ford
Thompson
Camwell

Bayliss
Eccles

Stedman
Finn
Smith

Ponticelli

I'll be there. Fingers crossed we get the win. Great achievement by the lads regardless though.

Would happily watch a 0-5 hammering at the Ricoh this afternoon for these lads to win this one!!

Brighton Sky Blue · Apr 22, 2017

Goes to show how vital it is that our academy is protected to the hilt.

I_Saw_Shaw_Score · Apr 22, 2017

2-0!!

Winner plays Sheffield United in the final.

Any ideas where the final will be played and when?

I_Saw_Shaw_Score · Apr 22, 2017

3-1 12 to go

Nick · Apr 22, 2017

Forgot about this, a good result!

Is there promotion if they win or just status?

SkyBlueZack · Apr 22, 2017

Could only stay for the first half. Great build up play and finishes for the goals. Great effort by the lads. All CCFC fans should be proud.

SlowerThanPlatt · Apr 22, 2017

Great performance today. Lovely goals and build up. CCFC far too strong for SWFC in the first half but they came back into it in the second half. A good 300 spectators there.

Sheffield United won their semi-final against Charlton on Friday night so it's CCFC v SUFC in the final. Believe it's going to be played next Saturday but time and location TBC

dongonzalos · Apr 22, 2017

Well done lads. I get a feeling we will be seeing a lot more of you next season

Is it likely to be neutral ground or will it be at one of the teams home grounds?

skybluetony176 · Apr 22, 2017

Delighted by this result. Something to be proud of. Well done lads and all those involved.

Yes at Ricoh or Bramall Lane, find out Monday. Actually might be a Friday if at Bramall Lane that's when they played Charlton in the semi-final and they have a first team game at Bramall Lane on the Sunday

Nick · Apr 23, 2017

Hopefully be at home at a decent time

Liquid Gold · Apr 23, 2017

I though't they'd won their league already? Is this to make it a league and cup double or is there some American style playoff at the end of the season?

That's correct but the play-off games are to decide a national winner. So we played the second best North team yesterday and we won 3-1 now we have to play the best North team in the final Sheffield United to decide a national winner.

Yesterday it was evident to me that CCFC players looked stronger and were better equipped for a physical battle. Likes of Ford, Thompson, Camwell, Bayliss and Ponticelli have been playing regularly in the 23s as scholars getting experience against professional footballers and the benefits show when they drop down to back to U18 level.

Did Sheffield Utd finish top of there group if not we should have home advantage, Can also see a game like this being played at St. George's park

Yes they did. The two clubs find out tomorrow who's at home. It's being played at the Ricoh or Bramall Lane as far as I know, it has to be played at first team ground under regulations I think

SlowerThanPlatt · Apr 24, 2017

The final will take place at Bramall Lane, confirmed. Not ideal, I'm sure they would have preferred it at the Ricoh, but CCFC will have some backing there still as seen a few posters with locations in Sheffield or near.

Date and time TBC

So is there any chance of promotion to the Premier League next season or will we just continue in the development league?

Joelly · Apr 24, 2017

I will definitely be getting myself down for this

No promotion. Just stay in the same league unless we move up or down category status
