YOUTH: Result from the Fleetwood cup game

United's second Youth Alliance Cup group fixture was an away trip to Fleetwood with both sides looking to take the points to help with the battle for a place in the first round proper.

It was a late goal for the Cod Army which proved to be enough to settle the tie as the sides played out a fantastic game in excellent conditions.

Youth boss Eric Kinder said: "I have to say, this was a superb advert for Youth Alliance football.

"Both teams played some excellent stuff and anyone who came along to watch it will have left feeling that they'd seen a very entertaining encounter.

"We created some very good chances but we're going through a spell where we just can't put them away at the moment.

"With this being a round-robin format, and with two games left to play, it probably means that we can't qualify for the knock-out stages. 

"That aside, there were a lot of good things on show from our lads. If they take this level of performance into the league games they'll be fine."
