U21s Head Home

Toughsheet

The U21s will make themselves at home next week with two games at the Toughsheet Community Stadium.

The young Whites takes on Coventry City on Bank Holiday Monday afternoon (KO 1pm) in the Professional Development League.

Julian Darby’s side then faces Southampton next Friday night (4th September) in their second group game in the Premier League Cup (KO 7pm).

Admission to both fixtures is open to supporters, priced at £3 adults and £1 concessions, payable by card only on the gate at turnstile D near to main reception.

Wanderers have made an impressive start to life in the PDL after an upgrade to Category 2 status for the Academy allowed them entry into the nationwide league.

The Whites followed up a 1-0 win at Charlton Athletic in their first game with a 7-0 victory over Colchester United – helped by the presence of a number of over-age first-team players topping up their match fitness – behind closed doors at Lostock on Tuesday afternoon.

Darby’s side will now look to make it three in a row against the Sky Blues in the first of a number of scheduled games at Wanderers’ home venue.

The visit of Southampton follows as the Whites bid to open their account in Group A of the Premier League Cup after losing 4-1 at Queens Park Rangers in their first fixture.

The return group game against QPR is also set to be played at the Toughsheet Community Stadium on Monday, 2nd November (KO 7pm), along with a home league fixture against the Londoners on Monday, 21st September (KO 1pm).
