1 Jan 2007 - Youth Cup News
The next round of the National Cup for U18, 16 & U14 have been drawn and are scheduled to be played on Sunday, 21st January 2007
The U18 cup sees our U17's again playing up and pitched against those ex Latchford Albion Unicorn players at Rylands U18's as they did in the Lancashire Cup this season. The game is away at Rylands
Our U16's travel to Shaw Cross on the same date
Our U14's elected to remain outside the National Cup - as did nearly every other U14 team! Coincidentally, they play at Shaw Cross in the North West Counties cup this weekend instead. It's a game that was originally postponed just before Christmas.
Our Under 12's Unicorns and Giants teams will be compteting in the North West Counties Cup for the first time. Fortunately both teams are in different leagues so we won't have the hertbreak of them meeting each other in the semi final as we had last year. Our U13's Giants are the current holders of the U12 Development Cup and we have a fine tradition in that competition with our U16's being the current holders of the U15's version of the competition.
There is an NWC Cup for all age groups U12 through to U18's so plebty of potential for cup action in the next few weeks.
The Lancashire Cup Final date is still to be arranged. Our neighbours (and some of our former players) at Rylands U18 are in their final against Blackbrook and, of course, our U16's meet Blackbrook Royals. Another coincidence is that the last time Latchford's U16's won the Lancashire Cup in 2005, Rylands beat Blackbrook in the U18's final.
