U21 men travel south to face rivals England
Scotland U21 men are playing two match friendlies down in Lilleshall against U21 England at the end of this week with a mixture of youth and experience in the team.
Predominantly the U21 side, with 5 players also featuring from the U18 squad and two senior players. This is all great preparation for the young U21 side ahead of the Europeans this summer in Portugal.
Due to few players not being able to play due to the exam period the U21 side fell short but head coach Graham Moodie felt this was a too good opportunity to play England to turn down.
‘I hope the senior players will bring more of a professional edge to the games, helping the younger players push and experience that senior level.’
It will be a tough set of matches but great International match practice for the team ahead of the Europeans.’
The Scots lost both matches that they recently played against the U21 England side last month, 5-0 and 5-2 and will be hoping to build on those performances. They play on Thursday 22nd May at 5pm and again on Friday 23rd May at 11am.
