FA Youth Cup tie with Crewe Alexandra confirmed
Our 2023/24 FA Youth Cup campaign will begin with a home tie against Crewe Alexandra in the third round of the competition.
Jack Wilshere guided our under-18s to the final last season, and this time around he'll be hoping to go one step further and see us claim the silverware for the first time since he was a player in 2009.
That quest will begin on Saturday, December 9 when Crewe come to Meadow Park for a 5.30pm kick-off.
The League Two club reached this far after their academy side beat Peterborough United on penalties before dispatching Boldmere St Michaels 3-0 to enter the third-round draw.
