4-2 Huns https://twitter.com/KFCYouthAcademy/status/1787937958915346696?t=QKmpxfU0FS4jMVeS8EN2cg&s=19

Can the huns still win it?

The lack of info on the Dons website is ridiculous

No. Between us and Killie. Huns win 4-2 so we're 1 point ahead of Killie who've played 1 more. Leaves us just needing to beat one of Huns and Tims to be certain of title

That’s assuming Killie beat Hibs away in their last game

They've Hamilton next Tuesday but does assume they win which seems likely as they're 6th. One win for us is enough regardless or none if they do lose. We'll hopefully seal it at Murray Park or wherever Huns play on Friday

Aye sorry I meant Hamilton

Sometimes wonder if lack of info on Sfa site and ours and other clubs is down to the ethos that it's all supposed to be about player development and not winning at that age

AFC Heritage Trust is easier to find fixtures on. Are on club site but bit more drilling down required. We kick off at 4pm against Huns on Friday

[RDS]

Just discovered AFC Heritage site also have current as well as historic Youth league table 

[RUL]

Friday will be tough but fairly confident we will win one of last two.

I think it’s more down to keeping the pressure off the young lads and not letting scouts know x players is settling the place alight.

English scouts will be very aware of who’s doing what at all the clubs.

The days of keeping under the radar are long gone.

No I agree its very much about not being results focussed.  That said, youre not wrong either as they wank themselves into a fury in the wifeys games just now because its the Arse Cheeks floating straight to the top.

They've fuck all to worry about if last week's final was anything to go by. Terrible performances all round.

Stuart Glennie appointed youth academy director.

[RDS]

Club finally announced Stuart Glennie appointment of Youth Academy Director to replace Gavin Levey.  Step up for him from Head of Youth Coaching and mentions he's doing Uefa Pro Licence so will be a potential future interim boss but hopefully not required with JT being a success

Good stuff. AFC Twitter not being kept up-to-date. The only update is Amber has her nudey pics in her profile.

Well done the young lads.

Hopefully a couple can progress to the first team in a year or two.  

[Willo flood]

Good stuff. Where did they finish in the League when Robson was in charge? Albeit a much different group of players  

[graham]

Terrific win and a fine achievement by the Young Dons.League champions.
