Brief preview here - http://www.afcdiamonds.com/match-previe ... -september . It will be an interesting test for the new side, given that the Diamonds NSYL team recorded a 4-0 win over Bugbrooke U18 in the Youth Cup last season.

That was a strange game if I remember rightly. Three late goals gave a skewed scoreline.

Bugbrooke had three players in the Northants FA U18 squad that played recently, compared to our two. Former AFCR&D player Jamie Inwood is at Bugbrooke.

[Formic]

Bumping this for those interested in the new youth setup. Its a shame its against Bugbrooke as I don't feel inclined to put any money in their coffers after helping to do so twice last season and yet getting a poor impression about their off-the-field attitude at the two games at the D&D.

Quiet start. Bugbrooke 1-0 after 5mins.
Bugbrooke down to 10 men.

[sussexdiamond]

h/t 2-0 to Bugbrooke.
Come on lads you've got some work to do in second half.

[sussexdiamond]

Rhys Redding stretchered off following late two footed tackle. All getting a bit nasty..
I bet Darren Purse is getting pretty worked up.

[sussexdiamond]

Buggers won 4-0. Rhys Redding taken to hospital.

[sussexdiamond]

Seems they got another goal. 5-0.

A pretty torrid encounter for the lads, from what sounds like a pretty brutal bunch.
I bet we have not heard the last of this.

With Rhys Redding going to hospital I expect we will have Quincy on the bench again Saturday.
Hope Rhys is not too badly hurt.

What sort of standard are these boys? In comparison to our U18 side from a couple of years back.
