The Owls U-18's lost narrowly to their local rivals earlier today.

A late wind assisted goal was enough for Sheffield United to sneak a 1-0 victory at their Shirecliffe training ground.

Academy Manager, Sean McAuley told swfc.co.uk: "I was delighted with the performance and application of our lads. The majority of our team was made up of first year scholars, United had a far more experienced line-up and also used three over-age players."
