FA U18 Premier League

 
The U18 Premier League replaced the Premier Academy League at the start of the 2012-13 season with the aim to enhance youth development and help transition players between the Academy and First Team.

The league set-up has been modified as follows for the 2016-17 season:

  • In total, 24 clubs compete in the U18 Premier League, with each of the clubs having applied for ‘Category One’ status in the Elite Player Performance Plan (EPPP). There are 16 clubs from the Premier League, five clubs from the Championship and one club from League One.
  • The format has changed since the 2012-13 season, with the 24 clubs now split into two separate regional groups, North and South.
  • Clubs will play each opposing club in their own regional group twice, both home and away.  Overall, the regional phase will last for 22 matches.
  • All 24 clubs will then be split into three Tier Groups of 8 sides each, based on their final Regional Group positions.
  • The top four clubs from each regional group will progress to the Tier One Group where they will face each other once either home and away as the national champion is determined.
  • The next four clubs (5th thru 8th) from each regional group will go into the Tier Two Group where they will face each other once either home and away.
  • The last four clubs (9th thru 12th) from each regional group will go into the Tier Three Group where they will face each other once either home and away.

Age requirement: Clubs are not allowed to field any outfield players outside of the U18 age category. However, the goalkeeper is permitted to come from the U19 age category.

The 12 clubs in the North Group of the 2016-17 U18 Premier League are:

Blackburn Rovers, Derby County, Everton, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Middlesbrough, Newcastle United, Sunderland, Stoke City, West Bromwhich Albion & Wolverhampton Wanderers

The 12 clubs in the South Group of the 2016-17 U18 Premier League are:

Arsenal, Brighton & Hove Albion, Aston Villa, Chelsea, Fulham, Leicester City, Norwich City, Reading, Southampton, Swansea City, Tottenham Hotspur & West Ham United.

Evans opened the scoring after collecting Beni Baningime's pass after 10 minutes but when goalkeeper Chris Renshaw spilled a shot, Yan Dhanda was on hand to level for the Reds shortly after half time.

Evans restored the advantage midway through the second period, however, before Shane Lavery released Bramall down the right whose cross-cum-shot caught the 'keeper out to double the lead.

Baningime was the provider again for the fourth, crossing for Bramall to tap home from close range.

U18 Premier League North, Game #7
Saturday 1 October 2016
Finch Farm

Everton's youngsters came back from 4-1 down against Sunderland U18s to draw 4-4 at Finch Farm on Saturday and make it four successive games unbeaten.

Kevin Sheedy's side fell behind as early as the 13th minute when Lee Connelly clipped a shot over Chris Renshaw in the Blues' goal before Brandon Taylor doubled the visitors' advantage with a header from a corner midway through the first half.

Stephen Duke-McKenna was adjudged to have fouled Fergus McAughtrie in his area shortly before half-time and Connelly rattled in the resulting penalty to make it 3-0.

A penalty at the other end, however, allowed Shane Lavery to reduce the arrears before the half-time whistle after Jack Kiersey has been shoved over in the Sunderland box.

It was the young Black Cats who scored next, however, when Connelly completed his hat-trick with another chipped effort after Renshaw had denied Jake Hackett.

Everton hit back again, however, beginning their impressive recovery when Fraser Hornby crossed for Lavery to score. Two minutes later, Hornby himself found the net when he headed home a cross by Kiersey.

And four minutes after that, Lavery's centre was spilled by the goalkeepre and Hornby was on hand to convert from close range and make it 4-4.

Everton U18s: Renshaw; Morris [Y], Moore, Harrington, Lees, Hornby, Bramall, Kiersey, Lavery, Duke-McKenna, Mampala (69' Ball).

Clayton Wood

Everton Under-18s came from two goals behind to record a stunning 5-2 away victory over Stoke City.

Everton's youngsters conceded twice inside the opening 20 minutes, but hit back almost instantly after the second as Fraser Hornby controlled Daniel Bramall's cross and neatly fired into the bottom corner with a left-footed drive.

The tremendous comeback saw three more goals for midfielder Hornby, with the Scotland Under-19 international completing a perfect hat-trick then adding his and the young Blues' fourth before Shayne Lavery sealed the win late on.

Everton U18s: Renshaw, Morris, Lees, Feeney, Harrington, Bramall (80' Moore), Kiersey, Baningime, Denny (85' Duke-McKenna), Hornby (82' Ball), Lavery.

Saturday 29 October 2016
Brockhall Village

The young Blues looked more likely to take all three points after the hosts were reduced to 10 men just before the half-time interval. But, despite their best efforts, the Toffees were kept at bay and goalkeeper Chris Renshaw was called into action twice late on to ensure the visitors would take a point.

U18 Premier League North, Game #11
Saturday 5 November 2016
Finch Farm

Everton U18s made it eight games unbeaten with a 1-1 draw at home to West Brom, Fraser Hornby grabbing his eighth goal of the season.

The Blues fell behind inside the opening minute, a long ball was played back for the onrushing Marcus Forss and he fired past Chris Renshaw in the Everton goal.

Everton responded with some decent attacking moves and their pressure final showed in the 25th minute. Morris pulled the ball back to Evans, who saw his shot blocked � but the ball fell perfectly for Hornby to toe poke into the top corner of the West Brom net.

The young Toffees started the second half in the manner they'd finished the first, and Blues dominated for spells but couldn't break down a resilient West Brom backline.

Everton U18s: Renshaw, Morris, Harrington, Collins, Lees, Denny, Bramall, Kiersey, Lavery, Hornby, Evans (60' Ball).
Subs not Used:
Piece, Kerr, Moore, Mampala.

Everton U18s: Renshaw, Morris, Moore, Collins, Lees, Denny, Bramall, Kiersey, Lavery, Hornby, Mampala (74' Ball).

Manchester City 4 - 4 Everton

U18 Premier League North, Game #13
Saturday 19 November 2016
City Football

After Ian Carlo Poveda's early strike and Liam Morris turned into his own net, the young Blues had it all to do at City's Academy Stadium.

But a Joel Latideaudiere own-goal on the stroke of half-time sparked Kevin Sheedy's side into life and, following Fraser Hornby's 12-minute brace, Jack Kiersey netted to put the Toffees 4-2 ahead on the hour mark.

Unfortunately for the visitors, the drama wasn't over there. Henri Ogunby clawed the Citizens back into the game with seven minutes remaining before Demean Duhaney levelled moments later to ensure the spoils would be shared.

Everton U18s: Renshaw; Morris, Harrington, Collins, Lees; Denny, Bramhall, Kiersey; Lavery, Evans (82' Duke-McKenna), Hornby.
Subs not Used: Hilton, Moore, Ball, Mampala.

Everton 1 - 2 Liverpool

U18 Premier League North, Game #16
Saturday 14 January 2017
Finch Farm

Everton U18s 13-game unbeaten run came to an end in a 1-2 defeat to Liverpool at USM Finch Farm.

They were much the better side throughout and unfortunate not to take something from a predictably hard-fought contest in which the Blues had chances before going behind to a fast breakaway.

Hornby heading over and Jack Kiersey lost his footing when clear before Bramall was tripped and Hornby stepped up and coolly converted from the spot.

Shayne Lavery then went close to giving Everton the lead but the Reds went straight up the other end and delivered another sucker-punch.

Everton U18s: Pierce, Moore (90' Mampala), Harrington, Denny, Lees, Collins, Bramall, Kiersey, Lavery, Hornby, Gordon (57' Scully).
Subs not used: Jones, Duke-McKenna, Ball.


Manchester United 1 - 1 Everton

U18 Premier League, Game #17
Saturday 21 January 2017
Carrington

Charlie Ball equalized after Ben Pierce had saved a penalty against Manchester United at Carrington on Saturday morning.

Kevin Sheedy's side found themselves a goal behind on 20 minutes but the home side were denied a winning strike from the penalty spot shortly after the break. Substitute Charlie Ball produced a fine effort to level the scores midway through the second half.

Everton U18s: Pierce [Y], N Baxter [Y], Moore, Denny, Harrington, Collins, Bramall, Kiersey, Mampala (46' Scully), Hornby, John (59' Ball).
Subs not Used: Scott, Adedoyin, Ouzounidis.


Middlesbrough 2 - 3 Everton

U18 Premier League North, Game #18
Saturday 28 January 2017
Rockliffe Park

Everton Under-18s came back to beat Middlesbrough 3-2 after going behind to an early own-goal.

The Blues Academy side, still harbouring hope of making the end-of-season title play-offs, suffered the worst possible start when the hosts went ahead through a Ryan Harrington own goal inside four minutes.

An untypical slow start was further punished by Brandon Holdsworth midway through the half, but Kevin Sheedy's side responded in style after the break.

First, Tom Scully grabbed his first goal at Under-18s level on the hour-mark with a volley from close range, before the team's leading scorer Fraser Hornby made it 2-2 with 20 minutes still to find a winner.

And find one they did, as 16-year-old substitute Korede Adedoyin was in the right place to net from close range when Hornby's 85th-minute shot was parried.

Everton U18s: Pierce, N Baxter, Moore, Bramall, Hornby, Scully, John (65' Duke-McKenna), Denny, Kiersey, (65' Adedoyin), Harrington, Collins.

Saturday 18 February 2017
WBA Training Ground

Everton U18s secured an impressive win 3-1 at West Bromwich Albion on Saturday with goals from Kiersey, Harrington and Adedoyin.

The young Blues came racing out of the blocks and took a deserved lead on 15 minutes as Jack Kiersey opened the scoring with a tidy low finish.

Kevin Sheedy's side continued to dominate proceedings and doubled their advantage before the half-time interval when Michael Collins' free-kick was cleared as far as Ryan Harrington, who made no mistake from close-range.

The visitors added a third shortly after the break, with 16-year-old forward Korede Adedoyin capping an impressive display with a goal. West Brom pulled one back with 10 minutes remaining.

Everton U18s: Pierce, N Baxter, Moore, Harrington, Collins (80' Ouzounidis), Bramall (85' Richards), Scully, Kiersey, Denny, Duke-McKenna, Adedoyin.

U18 Premier League North, Game #22
Saturday 4 March 2017
Finch Farm

Everton U18s took on Wolverhampton Wanderers at USM Finch Farm on Saturday morning and came from behind to win 3-2 in the last minute.

Kevin Sheedy's young Blues raced into a three-minute lead thanks to Tom Scully's well-taken right-footed effort, but the visitors found themselves ahead with goals either side of the break.

Korede Adedoyin bundled home from close range to level the game at 2-2 midway through the second half, before Daniel Bramall cut in off the left and his deflected shot looped over the goalkeeper to clinch victory with 60 seconds of play remaining.

This was their final game in the regional phase of the U-18 Premier League competition this season where they will finish 5th in the North Division.

Teams finishing 5th to 8th in both North and South then peel off into the Second Tier Group for the rest of the season, while the top four become the First Tier Group and compete for the title.

Litherland Remyca 1 - 0 Everton

Liverpool Senior Cup, Quarterfinal
Wednesday 8 March 2017
Litherland

A young Everton side failed to progress in the Liverpool Senior Cup after a first-half header handed Litherland Remyca a 1-0 quarter-final win. 

Despite the disappointing result, the Toffees started brightly against their hosts, with Daniel Bramall, David Henen, Bassala Sambou and Alex Denny all going close to opening the scoring in the early stages.  But 15 minutes before the half-time interval - and against the run of play - Remyca broke the deadlock. The Blues failed to clear a deep corner, before the cross was eventually headed home. 

 David Unsworth's side rallied well to falling behind and went close to equalising just before the break.  Captain for the evening Morgan Feeney connected perfectly with Bramall's cross from the right - but the Remyca goalkeeper pulled off a fine reaction save to deny the centre-back. 

The majority of the second period was played in Litherland’s half but the Blues struggled to find a way past a stubborn backline.   The best chance of the half fell to striker Sambou but he could only drag his effort wide of the post after being sent clear by Denny.

Everton U18s: Hilton, Yates, Foulds, Kiersey, Feeney, Denny, Henen, Broadhead, Sambou, Byrne, Bramall. 
Subs: Hunt, Moore, Harrington, Scully, Morris.

Everton 2 - 1 Middlesbrough

U18 Premier League 2nd Tier, Game #1
Saturday 11 March 2017
Finch Farm

Everton U18s missed out on the Tier One split and start the rest of the season with seven other sides in the Tier Two group, the first visitors being Middlesbrough who went down to a 2-1 defeat at Finch Farm today.

The young Blues opened the scoring on 25 minutes when Jack Kiersey turned home a rebound from close range. Kevin Sheedy's side continued on the front foot into the second period but, despite their dominance, spurned a few half chances to double their advantage.

A second eventually came two minutes from time when winger Daniel Bramall latched on to a long ball and finished with aplomb into the bottom corner. The visitors pulled a goal back deep into stoppage time, but it proved little more than a consolation.

Everton U18s: Pierce, Morris (46' Duke-McKenna), Harrington, Denny, Lees, N Baxter, Bramall, Kiersey, Adedoyin, Scully (66' Virtanen), Moore.
Subs not Used: Jones, Mampala, Gordon.

Everton 1 - 2 Norwich City

U18 Premier League 2nd Tier, Game #6
Saturday 6 May 2017
Finch Farm

Everton Under-18s fell to a 2-1 defeat to Norwich City at USM Finch Farm in their penultimate game of the 2016-17 season.

Two goals given up in the first half meant the young Blues' spirited second-half performance and Manasse Mampala's strike just before the hour mark proved little more than a consolation.

The visitors took a deserved lead on 21 minutes with a stunning 35-yard strike that flew into the top corner of Ben Pierce's net.

On the stroke of half-time, the visitors double their lead. Fleming latched on to Bradley Catton's long ball before seeing his cross turned into his own by Con Ouzounidis.

To their credit, the Toffees rallied after the break and got themselves back into the game on 56 minutes. Ryan Harrington intercepted a pass in midfield before releasing teammate Manasse Mampala, who fired low and hard into the bottom corner of the net.

Everton went close to levelling as Mampala threatened again, but the forward could only fire over after dispossessing the Norwich centre-back.

Everton U18s: Pierce, Duke-McKenna, Moore, Ouzounidis (72' Simms), Harrington, Lees, Bramall, Morris, Mampala, Warren (84' Gordon), Adedoyin (46' Collins).
