UNDER-18s PROGRESS IN CUP
Adam Lawrence’s group prepared well for the upcoming European challenge by progressing in another cup competition.
The U18 Premier League Cup was one of three trophies lifted by the young Reds last season — alongside the northern and national league titles — and United put in a professional performance in our final group stage game to continue our defence.
Requiring a victory by three goals or more at home to rivals Leeds United, Jaydan Kamason, James Scanlon and Chido Obi-Martin netted before half-time — all assisted by Amir Ibragimov. A hard-fought shut-out after the break ensured the three points and a goal difference boost which allowed United to leapfrog Leeds into Group B’s top spot.
