Been on their site, but can't see any news it's being streamed.
A shame that. They've a good side at this level. Could be a decent game.

Will we see a step up in recruitment this summer to play in the cat 1 Premier League reserves next season?

I'm not sure how it works

I'm not sure how it works

Being Cat 1 makes us more attractive in terms of recruitment

Bournemouth have had a very good youth set up for several years .We have some way to go yet but it's been a good season for both our U18 and U21 teams

[NewClaret]

Ah this is a real shame and maybe a bit of a sighter as to the work we need to do, but a fantastic season nevertheless.

[Buxtonclaret]

4-2

[Buxtonclaret]

[ecc]

[NewClaret]

[Buxtonclaret]

Lost 4-3.
Ran out of time.


Its still been a very, very good season for both U18s & U21s.
Good way to introduce our newly won Cat1

[FCBurnley]

Great fight back. Who scored our last 2 ?

[Leisure]

McDermott and Westley with the 2nd and 3rd goals.

[ClaretTony]

All of the playoff semi-finals for U18 and U21 have been won by the southern teams

Battled to the end. The lads gave everything they had; we can't ask for any more than that.

Definitely not. Really credible result in the end. Well done lads.

[Hantsclaret]

Went to the game … it is only 15 mins walk from my house to be fair.

We battled hard but Bournemouth’s players looked a level above for most of the game. The OG was a sickener coming so soon into the game but we made a number of mistakes which led to chances and goals. Thought the two lads in centre mid (Bauress and McDermott) might have had more control given they have had first team experience and the big CF Westley ran himself into the ground - but overall we just came up short.

When we first moved to Wokingham in the early 90s I watches Reading U18 v Bournemouth near my house.A parent told me it was the last game for Bournemouths youth team as it was being scrapped to save money.Move on 30yrs and a billionaire owner and things are on the up.With gates slightly above 11,000 Bournemouth need a sugar daddy and to recruit well sell on for big money policy .It's a model we would do well to emulate and things are definitely moving up with our development teams.
