Youth Cup date confirmed

Posted on: Wed 25 Jan 2012

A date for Rovers' FA Youth Cup 5th round tie against Stoke City has now been confirmed.

The match will take place at Ewood Park on Monday 6th February, kick-off 7.00pm.

Terry McPhillips' side have made the 5th round of the competition courtesy of an 8-0 win over Thurrock, followed by a 2-0 win over Coventry City.

Their opponents Stoke defeated Preston North End 2-1 before getting the better of Brentford by the same scoreline to reach the 5th round.

Stoke are also in the same Academy group as Rovers and the two sides have already met twice this season. It was a 4-4 thriller at Stoke back in October whilst Rovers won the reverse fixture 1-0 at Brockhall last month.

The winners of the tie will face a trip to either Newcastle United or Queens Park Rangers in the sixth round.

Supporters should note that with the Youth Cup match taking place on the same day as the scheduled Reserve team match at Everton, a new date will be required for that game.
