Our under-18s signed off the season in style with a commanding 3-0 victory away to Aston Villa.
A brace from the in-form Max Dowman and a powerful finish from Louis Zecevic John secured all three points and confirmed a third-place finish in the U18 Premier League South.
What Happened
The game began evenly, with both sides showing composure in possession and moving the ball with intent. But the rhythm was disrupted when Villa’s Markie Meade received a straight red card for violent conduct, reducing the hosts to ten men.
Despite the numerical disadvantage, Villa—already crowned champions of the under-18s Premier League South—nearly took the lead when Jack McGrath broke through one-on-one.
