Youth Cup

Castillo was excellent ,as were the team in general. For a first visit inside the ground for my boy ,he picked a pretty decent game ! Let's hope every future game he sees  against that lot ends the same ! :-)

We will host Manchester City in the second leg of the FA Youth Cup final at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday 26 April and tickets are on general sale now. 

Kick-off at the Bridge is at 7.45pm and tickets cost £5 for adults and £3 for juniors and seniors. Click here to buy. 

Full ticket details are available here. 

The first leg in Manchester will take place on Tuesday 18 April at their Academy Stadium adjacent to the Etihad. 

Kick-off is at 7.45pm. 

Both games will be broadcast live on Chelsea TV. 

 
1-0 half time, fully deserved too, probably should have had more though city had a couple of chances too. Hudson odoi has been outstanding, they just can't handle him.

 
Granted City have had a couple of chances, but we have dominated most of the play on their own pitch...we really are a cut above at this level...just a shame that it all seems rather futile...win another youth cup and then what? 

 
Not really followed the youth team this year, who is the number 11?

Our youth are easily the best domestically over the last 5 years and have been the best in Europe for the last two years, madness to think that not one of them will Carve out a name for them selves 

 
Strange game in the end...looked like we could step up another gear if we wanted to, but seemed happy with 1-1...poor goal to concede, although it looked like our played was fouled when he lost the ball

Return home leg is Wednesday 26th April. Game nicely in the balance. They have some very good players but we look the better team. Let's hope home advantage in that second leg will be telling.

Callum Hudson-Odoi. Good player had a terrific game.

Callum is excellent but a little less outrageously talented than a couple of the City lads. He is very active however and gets himself into the game which gives him a chance to make an impact. He did that to great effect last night. If either of the City 'stars', Foden & Diaz, get as involved in the game at The Bridge we'll have our hands full. Even though Foden pounced on the turnover to score a very well taken goal yesterday, we marshalled him, and Diaz, pretty well for mostof the game. Whether or not we can repeat that next week will be a key to the outcome.

Final is on at 7.45 tonight. Apparently you can watch for free on the chelsea website, though it may be on ITV as well, it often is.

 
Really looking forward to this game. I'm not a fan of ITV's football coverage but credit to them for covering this. All to play for after the 1st leg, come on you young Blues.
