EFL Youth Alliance Merit League ONE.

2016/2017 Season.

Bristol Rovers Under 18 Academy play against the highly rated Exeter City Academy side at The Cat & Fiddle on Saturday 22nd April 2017.

In last weekend’s fixture James Spruce put Bristol Rovers 1-0 ahead but Rhys Kavanagh and Lewis Collins scored for league leaders Newport County.

This victory for the Exiles Academy side gives them an 8 point lead at the top of Merit League One. They have now scored over 20 goals as a consequence of set-pieces this season.
