The National League Cup Quarter-Finals Conclude Tonight
National League clubs are aiming to make it a clean sweep and complete the semi-final set as the quarters conclude this week.
Four of our clubs made it into the last eight by finishing in either first or second place at the group stages after Sutton United and Altrincham made it through late last month.
Braintree Town and Aldershot Town both want to join them - but both face a tough challenge on Tuesday night.
The Iron were brilliant in the group stages, winning all their four matches, scoring 11 goals in the process and now Brighton & Hove Albion stand between them and a semi-finals spot.
Aldershot Town are gunning for glory and they’re finding form at just the right time. The Shots ended the last stage proudly on top of Group A after winning three of their four matches and now Leeds United’s talented youngsters visit the EBB Stadium.
Manager Tommy Widdrington says the club are desperate to get their hands on some silverware but know they’re in for a demanding evening against Leeds.
Sutton United took the first semi-final spot in style, a fantastic 3-0 victory over Manchester United’s talented young side was secured with goals from Finley Barbrook, Nana Boateng and Jack Wadham.
Altrincham manager Phil Parkinson was thrilled after his team held their nerve to defeat Newcastle United on penalties at the J.Davidson Stadium.
The competition, which kicked-off in October, offers an opportunity for National League players to play regular matches against the best U21 teams in the country.
The launch marked another exciting chapter in our partnership with the Premier League and the group stages provided plenty of excitement.
The quarter-finals so far:
Sutton United 3-0 Manchester United
Altrincham* 3-3 Newcastle United
Aldershot Town v Leeds United
Braintree v Brighton & Hove Albion
