Youth Teams Progress

Having knocked out Liverpool in an enthralling game at the Madejski last Wednesday, the Royals' u19s face Fulham, with the west London side having defeated Huddersfield 2-1 to move into the last four of the FA Youth Cup. Unlike its' senior equivalent, the latter stages of the Youth Cup are all played over two legs. Firstly, the semi-finals will take place at the home grounds of both the clubs' first teams, with the same rules applying to the final. Also, it's a great chance for the young Royals to get even more national attention, with ITV4 showing a live broadcast of all the remaining fixtures in the competition.

As for the u21s, they beat Arsenal by 3 goals to 1 at Boreham Wood last Saturday, but are still to find out their opponents for the final. Potentially playing them are Manchester City and Burnley, who face each other on the 1^st April. Similarly to the u19s, the final will be played across two legs, with both matches played at the home stadium of the senior team between the dates of 31^st March and 14^th April.

With regards to both next-round fixtures, more detailed information has not yet been released.
