Gold looked through these two squads and picked out eleven players aged 18 and under who could make an impact at the club in the coming seasons.
It comes as no surprise that Jamie Donley was the first named on the list, with the youngster having scored nine and assisted eight this season, while playing in all kinds of different positions.
Mikey Moore also takes his place on the list, having impressed in the cup final this week. However, what many people don’t know is that despite playing for the U18 side, he is only 15 years old.
Alasdair Gold also named Alfie Dorrington, Alfie Devine, Rio Kyerematen, Oliver Irow, Tyrese Hall, Will Lankshear, Luca Gunter, George Abbott, and Herbie James on his list.
