Town’s U18s have been drawn at home to Southend United in the first round of the FA Youth Cup.

First round ties, which usually take place at a club’s main ground, must be played before Saturday 7th November.

Last season the Blues exited the competition at the third round stage having lost 2-1 at Cardiff City after extra-time.

The Blues have won the FA Youth Cup on three occasions, in 1973, 1975 and 2005.

The U18s are in action at home to Barnsley in a behind-closed-doors Professional Development League Two South game at Playford Road on Saturday morning.
