Spurs U-21's invited to play in the Checkatrade Trophy


Checkatrade Trophy

The Tottenham Under-21side will play in the 2018/19 Checkatrade Trophy.

The competition pits the country’s leading Category One Academies against the 48 League One and League Two teams.

The 16 Under-21 teams invited to take part in the 2018/19 Checkatrade Trophy are:

Tottenham Hotspur
Newcastle United
Brighton & Hove Albion 
Southampton 
Chelsea 
Stoke City 
Everton 
Swansea City 
Fulham  
Leicester City 
Wolves 
Manchester City 
West Ham United 
Middlesbrough 
West Bromwich Albion
Arsenal

The Round One Group Stage draw is set to take place in July. The first round of fixtures is scheduled to take place week commencing Monday 3 September.


Personally, I am all for the competition as it gives youngsters cocooned in the almost non-tackling Development games in Premier 2.

Lincoln won the trophy last season and earned themselves £500,000 on the way, a significant amount for a lower league football club.
