Liverpool U18s 1 - 3 Everton U18s

After going behind to an early goal, Everton U18s secured a great win over their local rivals in Wednesday night's micro-derby at the Liverpool Academy.

With a slew of Everton youngsters away on International assignments, the game marks the debut at this level of a new name: Harlow James McEveley, who is playing Number 4. There's also a new name on the bench: Francis Louis Boggan.

Goals by Ray Robert and Cieran Loney either side of half-time gave the Young Blues something to hold on to. And as the game entered its final stages, Kean Wren stepped up with a third goal for the Young Blues to secure an excellent win. 

Everton U18s: Lukjanciks; Pita, McEveley, Evans, Poland; Stewart (81' Moses), Akarakiri, Matos, Wren; Loney, Robert.

Subs: Patrick, Billington, Doughty, Boggan.

Is Loney the lad we signed from Scotland last year?

If he is I didn't realise he was that young when we signed him. A big lad and with still time to grow, I'd like to see him now, he was pretty raw last year but I thought he was older than that.

Dave, yea, June 2024, when he was 16:

Everton set to land Partick Thistle youngster Cieran Loney

That was James McEveley's first start — I think he is only 15 — and Francis Boggan on the bench is, I've read only 14.

If it carries on like this, we'll need nannies on the bench to mind them!

Seems you and Paddy Boyland were all over this one, Dave. He has penned an interesting article in The Athletic that namechecks Harlow McEveley, Jake Doughty and Francis Boggan:

Everton's academy is in transition. Is it on course to deliver ‘homegrown superstars'?

These are usually behind a paywall, but this one looks like it might not be. Mike Iddon has just submitted a full copy of it but they don't like us just parroting their stuff, so I need to see if I can make it into an "Elsewhere On The Web" feature...

Very pleasing. Very interesting article too, Michael, which notes the absence of Gokah, Olayiwola and Nsangou all away with England. That's a good sign of itself too. There is some real quality in this group.
