We missed out on being crowned U-18 Premier League champions on Tuesday after a 5-2 defeat by Derby County in the national final at Pride Park.
We secured the southern title last week after winning 20 of our 22 league fixtures - but this was one step too far for our youngsters, who were unable to beat the champions of the northern division.
We got off to a promising start when Ben Cottrell jinked past his marker and teed up Bukayo Saka, who opened the scoring with a clean strike.
But this sparked the hosts into life and placed us in unfamiliar territory.
