FA Youth Cup - Second Round Draw Update

Last updated : 30 November 2007 By Thetashkentterror
The big prize
As usual there were a few shocks in the opening round with Tiverton defeating Yeovil on penalties, Curzon Ashton knocking out Chesterfield - again on spot-kicks, and Nottingham Forest surprisingly crashing out after losing 2-1 at home to Walsall.

In Round Two Carlisle were drawn against the winners of Mansfield Town and Conference North outfit Alfreton Town. That tie going to form with the young Stags winning 5-0 at Field Mill in front of over 200 spectators. The goals for the home side, to put a smile on coach David Jervis' face, coming from a Grant Ryan brace and single strikes from Connor Higginson, Lewis Trimmer and Warren Burrell.

Mansfield's youth team ply their trade in the same league system as Carlisle, the Stags being in the North East section though, as opposed to United being in the North West. Town currently sitting a healthy fourth of thirteen teams in that division with a record of five wins, two draws and three defeats from their ten league matches played to date.

United, down to ten men for an hour, defeated Stockport 2-0 at Brunton Park in their opening round tie last week, the goals coming from the potent strike partnership of Andrew Cook and Gary Madine. The second round match against Mansfield coming up this Tuesday night at Field Mill in a 7pm kick-off.
