Senior Reporter

East meets west at the national stadium this weekend as the Under-18 All-star game tops the bill at youth finals day.

Last year it finished in a nerve-shredding penalty shoot-out with more than 40 kicks taken before the West eventually won 21-20 on penalties.

Dandy Town coach Scott Morton is back in charge of the east - picking his squad from Boulevard, BAA, Town and North Village.

While PHC gaffer Mark Wade heads up the West - selecting from his own side, Somerset Eagles, Trojans and Southampton Rangers.

The event, being held for the second year, kicks-off with the All-Star dinner on Friday night, something Morton feels is just as important as the game.

"They have to wear a suit, it takes them out of their comfort zone. But it's another incentive for them to continue playing - if they do well on and off the field they get this banquet and this all-star game. It's a great initiative.

"I feel we have a talented bunch of individuals and a level-headed group of guys."

Mark Wade agreed and said he hoped the All-Star game would become a stage for players to aspire to.

"It's great to expose the players to this type of environment. It's a great way to showcase these guys and hopefully we can get a good crowd and people can start jotting down some of those names because you're going to be hearing about them in the future as Premier players or even internationals."

Meanwhile in the under-15s PHC will be trying to stop Bascome FC as they go for the double.

Skipper Na'eem Griffith, a 14-year-old centre back and student at Berkeley, will be looking to lead his team to glory after their dramatic victory on penalties in the semi-final.

Meanwhile Social Club skipper - 13-year-old Social Club captain Trey Durham will be hoping to emulate his favourite player - Barcelona's Xavi - and inspire his side to the double

Not content with just lifting the league trophy Durham and his young teammates will renew their rivalry with The Academy, who had the league's top scorer in Jair Minors, in the U13 final.
