doddisalegend Posted 28 July, 2015 Posted 28 July, 2015 I see Saints have their under 15 boys competing in this years Milk cup junior section, over in Ireland, not much info but the boys won their first game Zacatepec 0-3 Southampton and they have more fixtures coming up Southampton v Co. Londonderry (today) Southampton v OC Blues (tomorrow) http://www.newsletter.co.uk/sport/football/football-dale-farm-milk-cup-results-fixtures-1-6870344 Interesting to see how the boys do might even be one or two future first team players in the under15s.
Gingeletiss Posted 28 July, 2015 Posted 28 July, 2015 I think they do this every year, I may be wrong.
doddisalegend Posted 28 July, 2015 Author Posted 28 July, 2015 Could well do its a pretty big deal in youth football I believe.

vin Posted 28 July, 2015 Posted 28 July, 2015 I think they do this every year, I may be wrong. Yep, they certainly took a group last year. Got thrashed in the final of their section by Brentford if I remember rightly.
doddisalegend Posted 28 July, 2015 Author Posted 28 July, 2015 Saints squad http://www.dalefarmmilkcup.com/teams/southampton.html Cheers dog. I know the number 14 was ripping up the under 14s division 1 Tyro league for Hedge End last season big kid and bloody quick scored shed loads I believe.

krissyboy31 Posted 28 July, 2015 Posted 28 July, 2015 Crikey that takes me back. Big milk bottle on the centre spot at the dell pre kick off. I remember the Milk marketing board giving out free cartons at matches, which in turn became milk bombs as the Milton end pelted them back at the vendors. Happy Days!!
doddisalegend Posted 28 July, 2015 Author Posted 28 July, 2015 Won 2nd game against Co. Londonderry 2-1. Well done the boys?
St_Tel49 Posted 28 July, 2015 Posted 28 July, 2015 I think they do this every year, I may be wrong. I am not aware of an entry from a Saints team before now which has always surprised me because as a youth tournament it is a big deal. It usually includes teams from Europe and South America and elsewhere the world competing. http://dalefarmmilkcup.com/junior-section.html I see that the Saints game v Londonderry was played at the Anderson Park - a venue I attended many times in my youth!

tpbury Posted 29 July, 2015 Posted 29 July, 2015 Match report on todays game http://dalefarmmilkcup.com/junior-section/county-londonderry-vs-southampton-junior-section-match-report.html Anyone seen any video of these matches? I'd love to show him how the top level boys his age play. I still see a lot of ball watching, slowness of thought, lack of awareness of team mates, inability to use wrong foot, lack of fitness, lack of sense of urgency or canniness when protecting a lead. Wonder how the top level kids compare. (I was chuffed with him this weekend as he showed quickness of thought and hunger to head a goal from a corner against much bigger defenders!).

My brother is southamptons academy the level of football is a pretty high standard at all age groups that I've seen, most the players are extremely comfortable in possession but lack the physical attributes of over academies. West Ham for example have a few players probably not far of 6 foot at under 12 level. Only things are fitness normally at the beginning of the season as the kids have the summer holidays off and the communication in defence is often quite poor. Most of this I'm judging from under 12 academy football which is 8 (maybe 7) aside next year my brothers age group will be playing 11 aside. But I have also seen games from older age groups while at staplewood or on a iPad Southampton FC give all academy players as like a player journal with videos of matches and various other things on.

doddisalegend Posted 29 July, 2015 Author Posted 29 July, 2015 Saints are 3-0 up in their 3rd game, against OC Blues from California Good stuff looking at the table need a few more goals to make sure they are in the top four on goal difference.
Easty Posted 29 July, 2015 Posted 29 July, 2015 County Antrim drew 0-0 and Sydney lost 3-1 so the lads are 3rd unless Plymouth batter Brentford 7-0

Ashtead Saint Posted 29 July, 2015 Posted 29 July, 2015 The Brentford score is final and Right to Dream drew 0-0 with Co Armagh. That leaves Saints comfortably through to the semi final tomorrow and currently top of the table. The only team which can catch them is Rangers, who would need to beat AS Roma-USA in their 6pm match by more than 4 goals to overtake Saints. Well done lads!
doddisalegend Posted 29 July, 2015 Author Posted 29 July, 2015 Saints the only team in the junior section to win all there games
doddisalegend Posted 29 July, 2015 Author Posted 29 July, 2015 Dale Farm Junior MILK CUP Semi Finals - Right to Dream v Co. Antrim Southampton v Liverpool Liverpool come on boys you need to win that.
krissyboy31 Posted 29 July, 2015 Posted 29 July, 2015 Right to Dream scored 13 goals in 3 games of which one was a nil-nil draw?
doddisalegend Posted 29 July, 2015 Author Posted 29 July, 2015 Right to Dream scored 13 goals in 3 games of which one was a nil-nil draw? Yep they beat Swindon 8-1 and some American team 5-0. They are an African team apparently interesting team name.

Viking Warrior Posted 30 July, 2015 Posted 30 July, 2015 Milk Cup: Saints beat Liverpool in Coleraine semi-final Southampton defeat Liverpool to set up a Milk Cup Junior final against Right to Dream while Co Antrim face CSKA Moscow in the Premier decider. The Saints impressed in a 3-1 win over Liverpool at the Coleraine Showgrounds, with Jake Vokins bagging a double. Ghanaian side Right to Dream beat Co Antrim 2-0 in the other Junior semi. Co Antrim fared better in the Premier semi-finals, overcoming Real Sociedad 2-0 while Club America beat CSKA Moscow on penalties after a scoreless draw. Matthew Shevlin scored both goals as Co Antrim defeated Real Sociedad at the Riada Stadium in Ballymoney. Shevlin met Ryan Nimick's cut back to fire in a second-half opener and he added the second just over a minute later. A classy run and finish saw Shevlin slot past keeper Inaki Auzmendi with a composed finish. Mexican team Club America won their penalty shoot-out 5-3 against CSKA Moscow in Limavady. An own goal from Andrew Jackson put Southampton ahead against Liverpool and it was 2-0 at half-time thanks to Jonathan Afalabi's bullet header from a corner. Jake Vokins drilled past keeper Louie Molden to make it 3-0 before Neco Williams netted for the Anfield lads from a goalmouth scramble. Right to Dream defeated Co Antrim in Portstewart and they will face the Saints in Friday night's final at the Ballymena Showgrounds.

doddisalegend Posted 31 July, 2015 Author Posted 31 July, 2015 3 down now the Ghana boys are bloody quick they're beating the saints boys to every back pass.
VectisSaint Posted 31 July, 2015 Posted 31 July, 2015 4-0. Hope our scouts have got tabs on some of these RTD lads.
doddisalegend Posted 31 July, 2015 Author Posted 31 July, 2015 4-0. Hope our scouts have got tabs on some of these RTD lads. Reckon we should bring the whole RTD academy home with us:smug:
doddisalegend Posted 31 July, 2015 Author Posted 31 July, 2015 5 down saints boys getting a right beating in the final
doddisalegend Posted 31 July, 2015 Author Posted 31 July, 2015 5 down saints boys getting a right beating in the final Make that 7 down........ ouch
VectisSaint Posted 31 July, 2015 Posted 31 July, 2015 7-0 now, 2 goals in last minute, 30 seconds left. Saints team rather hit by injuries. Still, they were runners-up, so well done to the kids.

Still, they were runners-up, so well done to the kids. Yep until tonight they'd won every game. Apparently the RTD boys have been hovering up tournament wins all over Europe this summer so the boys probably shouldn't feel to bad about losing to them.
krissyboy31 Posted 31 July, 2015 Posted 31 July, 2015 Co Armagh must have some decent defenders to have nilled them.
positivepete Posted 1 August, 2015 Posted 1 August, 2015 http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/aug/01/manchester-city-thomas-agyepong-twente-enschede One of the RTD former graduates is at Man City and has just been loaned out to Twente....
Singapore Saint Posted 2 August, 2015 Posted 2 August, 2015 RTD Academy better than Saints Academy then?
