FA Youth Cup: Kids Edged Out On Spot Kicks

Not much to say here. Our kids squandered a 2-1 first leg lead and allowed Liverpool into the second leg at Old Trafford. Since there were no away goals rule, extra time was required. The game ended 2-2 on aggregate and the more experienced Liverpool team retained their title, beating us on penalties.

I stayed up but could only get radio commentaries off the net. From what I gathered, Liverpool dominated the first half, although United threatened via the counter attacks. My comp went bonkers on me during half time, so I missed the rest of the action (if you're wondering.....yes, it was down for over 2 hours).

Here are some match reports:
