Academy Clinch Title

Leicester City's under 18 side clinched the FA Premier Academy League Group B title following a 3-0 victory over Norwich City at the Belvoir Drive training ground today (Saturday). Goals from Ryan Beswick, Ashley Chambers and Eric Odhiambo secured the win - and the young charges now face a play-off clash Group A winners Arsenal at a date and venue to be confirmed.
Speaking after the game, a proud Jon Rudkin said: "This is a magnificent achievement for this football club. The players and staff deserve the utmost praise for their efforts throughout the campaign.
"The game was a little edgy to say the least in the opening stages, but an early goal from Ryan soon calmed any nerves.
"We created a number of chances on the day and the lads can feel very happy with themselves.
"We now face a play-off game against Arsenal and that is a match that we are already very much looking forward to."
City: Pentney, Cox, Rowe-Turner, Garner, Lycett, Chambers (Jailow (Tuttle)), Magunda, Howard (Kee), Beswick, McKay, Odhiambo.
A full interview with Academy manager Rudkin will be available to view on Leicester City World next week.

Better still if they could play it immediately after the Wolves match, so people can stay in the ground for the game, it'll give the kids experience of playing in front of a decent crowd.

We can hope, it does mention 'at a date and venue to be confirmed'. Does leave a question whether it would be two-legged.
