Good draws for the would be great lads. It would be great if we can go a little way in this competition and draw a bigger club from the Football League.

[My opinion]

Stating the obvious again Pete, but then again you are very good at that

[Neil Johnson]

Chester Le Street have a great youth development system, which is well founded by decades of operation, so this could be a relatively tough first round tie for our U18s.

A good FA Youth cup run is great for future player recruitment, due to press interest and building of attendances at games.

The 2 away venues are easy to reach and have above average facilities in the splendid NL.

Match attendance would be a great antidote to staying at home and watching TV.

Reading your posts is an antidote to the telly.

According to twitter final score was

Chester Le Street 2 Darlington 5 AET

We will now face Shildon away in the next round w/c 19th September

[quakersam]

After beating Shildon, the U18's will play Clitheroe in the next round.

Venue tbc
W/c 3rd October

Clitheroe Kids (one for us oldies).

I assume its a "home" game.

Darlington RA may be a popular venue.

Yes drawn at home

That's not really a home game is it? I was planning to go if it had been local.

Well if that's not a compounding reason to reverse the decision I don't know what is.

Jimmy will be a bit long in the tooth now, won't he?

[quakerste]

Darlington won 2-1 tonight against Clithero

[Darlo_Pete]

Well done to the lads, wonder when league clubs enter the competition?

[super_les_mcjannet]

Drawn away to Ryton & Crawcrook Albion.

[Darlo_Pete]

That's a good draw and it gives the lads a chance to progress further in the competition.

[quakersam]

Conference clubs came in this round, Football League clubs come in the next round (1st Round Proper)

[HarrytheQuaker]

If we get to the 1st round proper we might get on the TV

[Darlo_Pete]

If we get to the 1st round proper we might get on the TV

Is that a mention on Look North.

Only if it's international week and Toon, Mackems & Boro don't play.

I was being sarcastic, hence the smiley face.

[Sidarlo]

Not sure if its been mentioned, but draw was made today for the next round, if the lads win tonight they are away to Rochdale in the first round

[Darlo_Pete]

The younguns lost last night 4-2, so Rochdale will have to wait for another year!
