U18's Derby

[CharnockBlade]

United came from 1-0 down to win 2-1 late on with Hallam and I think Horatio Hirst scoring for us, the win also means the 18's have won the regional division. Well done boys!!

 

[BushBlade]

Well done lads.

 

[nopigfansintown]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!!!! At the piggery (Middlewood) against the piglets to boot.

 

[larkymasher]

Well done to all involved. This has been coming for 2 years. Runners up last year and winners this year.

All done against Championship and Premier League clubs. SUFC getting back to where we belong.

 

[Blade for Sale]

Wouldn't it be something to have the first team and the U18s on a lap of honour round the pitch together with 2 trophies?

Come on Blades let's get this league won and make it happen!

 

[larkymasher]

And Hirst scored the winner !!

No, not the over rated piglet with a fat Barnsley dad....... our very own Horatio one.

The job isn't done yet, we have finished top of the Northern section to be crowned overall league champions we now play a knockout against the top two in the Southern section and the runners up in our section

 

[BushBlade]

The job isn't done yet, we have finished top of the Northern section to be crowned overall league champions we now play a knockout against the top two in the Southern section and the runners up in our section

Without punctuation that could mean a couple of different things. I don't want to start being all Lynne Truss about it but have we been crowned champions or do we have to win the knockout?

 

[Baw Heid]

Well done to the under 18s Winning the league gives us home advantage in the semi final against the runners up in the South league with a final to follow. This group will go all the way, they never know when they are beaten

 

[I should coco]

I don't want to start being all Lynne Truss about it

BushBlade, eats, shoots and leaves.

1-0 to the Blade and game over Lynn-baby. Stick that in your theosaurus, bitch!

 

[Kenilworth]

The job isn't done yet, we have finished top of the Northern section to be crowned overall league champions we now play a knockout against the top two in the Southern section and the runners up in our section

So, do the winners of the Northern section play the runners up in the Southern section in a semi and vice versa?
Then the winners of each semi play off in a final?

To be crowned overall champions of the U18 development league you have to win the knockout. We lost to Charlton in the final last year on pens.

Yes that is spot on.

We have won the Northern league but to arrive at an overall winner takes in the first and second in the Southern league as well as the runner up in the North. So in fact the final could still be a repeat of todays fixture if the others come second but it would be a home game for us I think

Come on Blades let's get this league won and make it happen!

and they could be joined by our Under 23s as well although there is still work to be done

 

[Blade58]

Well done u18's, especially against the shit of Sheffield

 

[Stretch]

Well done lads.

 

[Fulwood Blade]

The futures bright..........looking decidedly more Red and White

Right. I think I've got it.

Lynn-baby might get back to you about the 'theosaurus'.

 

[Grappler]

Well done lads

 

[EddieColquhoun]

Been loads of fuss about David Hirst's lad over in south dingleland. He didn't trouble the scoreboard today and Horatio Hirst clinches the title!

Have you seen the Sheffield Telegraphs headline- Sheffield Wednesday: Steel City derby disappointment for Owls Under-18s as Blades come-from-behind to seal title by Dom Howson
......
talk about bias - the article only talks about Wednesdays disappointment,
and oh by the way United won the league and it only appears in the pork section
Perhaps we should get Harry Bassett to write him a letter [ see other thread]
