Good news
Burnley opened the tournament against Sparta Prague this morning and withstood some pressure from the home side to claim a 1-0 victory, with first year scholar Michael Fowler netting the only goal of the game around 15 minutes from time.
Canadian Prostars next tomorrow

Another win today 3-1 means we make the semis.
Well done lads

A good performance this morning from a very young team who had a number of 'regular starters' on the bench. They were on top for the majority of the game against a team from Canada who were slightly off the pace. This means that our lads now play a semi-final on Monday morning against the winners of Group D, which will probably be SK Slavia Prague, who won their first game yesterday 6-0. Kick off will be at 10 o'clock (our time).
Good luck to the lads.

We sent an under 18 side to an under 19 tournament so very well done.

Burnley’s youth team play in the semi-final of the Generali CEE Cup and face Turkish side Altinordu FK tomorrow morning
Good luck lads.

Just shows how much I know!! I said it would probably be Slavia Prague, however, it appears that the Academica team was a last minute replacement and they got hammered by Slavia and Altinordu, who then beat Slavia to qualify for the semi.
Good luck to all our Young Clarets --fingers crossed.

In the final after a 4-1 win in penalty shoot out and a 1-1 drawn game.
Well done boys

Everton or FK Sarajevo in the final.

Saw a bit live on youtube, the game is on there now also, but a great equaliser from the Turks, direct free kick curled into the top corner keeper no chance. They seemed big compared to our youngsters.

The lads have done brilliantly. Proud to be a Claret!

[oldcolner]

The opponents in Wednesday’s final will be Everton who had a 6-0 victory against FK Sarajevo.

[oldcolner]

Well we lost 3-1, the only team to score against Everton in the competition
Hard luck lads.
Good news
