Under-18s gearing up for Youth Cup

After progressing in the FA Youth Cup last week, Mildenhall Town Under-18s return to action this evening in the next round at Woodbridge Town.

Here's the latest from manager Steve Roberts.

"It's another big game tonight away versus Woodbridge in the FA Youth Cup.

"We had an amazing result last week against March Town U18s. Unfortunately the 1st game was abandoned due to a serious injury to one of our players. It was a tight game with only minutes left to play. At 0-0 the game had to be abandoned but looked destined for penalties.

"The replay was a different game all together. The players have been improving with every game and we started to look like the team I know we are capable of being. Amazing attitude and team spirit put us 2-0 up at half time, however the game could have been killed off in the 1st half after many close chances.

"Fair play to March who had nothing to lose and came at us. It was 2-2 at full time, which took us straight to penalties.

"Penalties is a horrible way to decide a game, but it was a perfect shoot out for us. Five very confident lads stepped up and with a keeper save we made it a 5-4 win.

"It was the right outcome and I feel we are only just getting started. We have a very good team and will keep getting better and better in my opinion. We are all looking forward to the next round tonight at Woodbridge in an important fixture."
