Last week a Tottenham Hotspur U17 squad participated in the Milk Cup, a yearly tournament held in Northern Ireland. The tournament finished on Friday, with Spurs finishing in fifth place – a respectable position for such a young side.

Spurs tend to select younger players for these tournaments where possible, and left out a number of players with more experience who would have been eligible. The likes of James Yeboah, Ronnie Hawkins, Lee Angol, Shaquille Coulthirst, Alex McQueen, and Laste Dombaxe would all have qualified for the tournament, but instead a number of under 16 players were used, with only one second year (Freddy Champion) included in the squad.

I have had the pleasure of reading some Milk Cup match reports from the author of the Spurs On This Day blog – he is hoping to get these posted over the course of the next week, so make sure that you check back if you are interested in our young players.
