Risca United Youth Update
Risca United Youth followed the seniors 6-1 win on Saturday with a 5-0 demolition of Newport Civil Service. This was their 2nd win in the Macwhirter League Cup Group A and puts the young Cuckoos into 2nd place, which if they can maintain will be good enough to reach the Quater-Finals.
With two games left the youth team will need to win both games to be certain of going through. Next week they play Caerleon at Cold Bath Lane and the following week play Newport YMCA at home, in what could decide who goes into the quarter finals with Cwmbran Celtic, but first up we must beat Caerleon next Sunday.
On Sunday the young Cuckoos made heavy weather of things in the first half going 1-0 up through a Robbie Bainton penalty. The second half saw four goals added without reply through a wonder strike from Man of the Match Tom Pratt, an own goal, Luke Powell and a twice taken penalty from Jerome Samuels. Jonathan Smith and Mark Mears are very pleased with the form so far .
