Might be young, but they can play

Monday 21 October 2019, QPR Under 23s 1 Ipswich Town Under 23s 1 - Professional Development League, Harlington Sports Ground

and then:
 Maidenhead United Under 18s 6 Cray Wanderers Under 18s 2 - York Road, FA Youth Cup, 3rd Qualifying Round


After Charlton on Saturday another training ground but one with an impressive main building, courtesy of sharing with a London University -  also good to like at Ipswich, the 'Locals' also have their favourite and least favourite stewards!



Two young teams so we got a competitive game with plenty of skill on show, the QPR goal scored by the son of England and Forest legend, Des Walker.



Then onto Maidenhead to visit one of the grounds that all hoppers should visit, the ground claims to be the oldest in the world to be continuously used by one club plus add on there is terracing and it is hemmed in by houses and a train line and is right in the middle of the two centre - you can  see why it is a 'must visit' ground.


football wise, like the afternoon game, plenty of skill on display but noticeable how much fitter and bigger the players were in the afternoon game but skill wise , seemed as much on show at York Road as there was at Harlington.
