Dev Squad up for the Cup

The Dev Squad host Fulham at Rush Green on Wednesday 13, KO 7pm
The Development Squad return to U21 Premier League Cup action with an all London tie with Fulham on Wednesday 13 January at Rush Green.

The young Hammers progressed through to the Round of 16 after beating Exeter City 4-0 at St James Park.

That night, a ruthless Dev Squad got off to a terrific start through striker Jaanai Gordon who netted after just eight seconds.

The 20-year-old doubled the lead just 10 minutes later before Djair Parfitt-Williams and Moses Makasi sealed the convincing victory.

Looking ahead to Wednesday’s encounter, with free admission for all fans, Scottish left-back Stephen Hendrie said: “We’re seven games unbeaten now; it’s all going well and we’re full of confidence.

“We just want to keep on going and getting the victories. Fulham is a big game for us, we all really want to get the win, fingers crossed we’ll progress to the quarter finals.”

As for the Cottagers, they beat Colchester United 3-1 away in December with goals from Alexander Ka?anikli?, Dean O'Halloran and Cauley Woodrow.

The west Londoners are currently five games unbeaten, a run which started with the Whites sealing a 2-0 victory at Upton Park in October.

Coincidentally, that is the last game Terry Westley’s charges have lost, and now four months on, they’ve won six of their seven games, scoring 15 goals in the process.

The Development Squad host Fulham U21 on Wednesday 13 January at Rush Green, 7pm. Admission is FREE for fans.
