It shows how long the academy lads haven’t played for when it’s pretty much a full new team from the last time they played at that level. Look forward to giving it a watch.

I haven't seen the team selected but Matty Nicholson and Alex Sutton are very highly rated. Joe Robinson son of Jason may also play. I'm looking forward to seeing how Joe Charnock has progressed and Harvey Hill along with Jack Taylor are two big humans!!!

Line up is:
Jones; Douglas, O'Keefe, Sutton, Eckersley; Wilkinson, Astley; Bibby, Forber, Brannan; Taylor, Nsemba, Nicholson
Bench - Huish, Makin, Hill, Hobson, Hanley, Robinson.

As for those to look out for, I'd add Jack Bibby and Logan Astley to the ones Rogues mentioned.

Live stream was awful, I gave up after 10 minutes.

Any idea of score and key performers?

I know it blew out at the end after being pretty close up until the hour. Think it finished 48-16.

I saw a bit of the second half and Nicholson was cutting them up for fun around the middle.

Interesting to see that Hanley is still young enough to play for the academy. There is still plenty of development still to be seen. Some huge lads in Nsemba and Taylor. It looked a bit rusty in parts. does anyone know who is still young for the age group and who might be going open age next seaon?

Looks a huge lad does Nsemba and scary to think he’s probably still growing. Like lads before him though, you need more than just size. Hopefully that lad has it.

Great point on Hanley. We see him in the first team making errors and go ‘he’s not up to it’ but he’s very young and he may not be ready for a couple of years yet. The club has been great at succession planning and bringing though youngsters in the positions we need as other players move on but realistically they’ve not nailed it with the outside backs these past couple of years. Hanley and Halsall aren’t ready IMO and there is a gap in the squad for an outside back.
