Youth team's storming win

The Charlton Under-18's beat Sheffield United 6-0 last night to storm into the fifth round of the FA Youth Cup. Moreover, this was achieved with two of the best younger players out on loan.

Clive Richardson writes, 'The game was a great advert for our youth team- flowing football, good strike power, etc....Uchechi, Wagstaff, Yussuff, Godfrey, Shelvey...and good full-backs in Solly and Long.' It's at times like this that I wish I lived nearer The Valley.

There was a crowd of 1,369, although apparently they had some trouble getting in because of a lack of turnstiles open for cash and an insistence on giving out tickets. (Oi, you're sitting in my seat).

Congratulations to Sir Chris Powell on greeting the young players by the tunnel as they came off.
