ALTY'S "ERRATIC" ACADEMY SIDE

Ironically the York side is managed by Tim Ryan, who briefly played for Altrincham.

The hosts took the lead early in the game before Harrison Howells (right) levelled for the Robins.

But three more goals produced a 4-1 win for York.

The NLP adds that "defeat means the Robins stay winless on the road since November and boss Paul Fay rued his side switching off at key moments...

He said, 'Our keeper Louie [Fallon] had two saves to make in 90 minutes. However, spells of lack of concentration in the game gave four goals away.

Results have been erratic for this group. Today there were fourteen first- and second-years and, with a short turnaround before the reverse fixture on Fiday, it leaves limited time to correct basic errors.

'I am confident they will learn and consistency will come'".

Paul will have been pleased to see the boys draw the reverse fixture with York before securing a home win over AFC Fylde.

Since our last update, the Academy side's results in the National League U19 Alliance league and cup competitions have, indeed, been erratic with just six wins, four at home, in 16 matches.

ACADEMY SIDE KNOCKED OUT

Caden Gibson reports on this clas "between the Academy sides of Altrincham and Morpeth Town...

Alty started the sharper of the two sides... However, they were unable to make their superiority count, and the game remained level...

Morpeth began to grow into the game... The pressure was too much for Alty to withstand, and they soon found themselves 1-0 behind...

Altrincham’s domination of the game proved to be ineffective as Morpeth extended their lead... After the half-time break, Morpeth saw themselves go 3-0 up...

Squad on the day: Tyler Heyes, Will Knowles, Caden Gibson, Ethan Cosgrove, Jacob Hill, Mo Suwareh, Remi Raymond, Kian Gonzalez, Henry Shaw, Ollie Dixon, Vlad Shtyhlian, Ryan Knowles, Nathan Wood, Charley Jarrald".

LEAGUE DEFEAT FOR ACADEMY

"The Altrincham Academy were looking to bounce back from back-to-back defeats against Chester and Fylde...

It was an underwhelming start from the young Robins, as they fell behind very early into the game... It quickly got worse for the hosts, as some poor defending from a corner allowed Boston to double their lead...

With some attacking substitutions, the momentum seemed to be in the young Robins’ favour...

A terrible tackle brought Edson Cata down in the box for an Altrincham penalty... but a great save was made by the Boston goalkeeper...

From this point onwards, Alty’s heads dropped... the youngsters go[ing] four down... In the last few minutes of the game, Boston jumped on an Alty mistake and scored their fifth goal of the game..

Squad on the day: Dane Byron, Sam Bonney Phillips, Joel Bailey, Kaiden Powell, Ian Jose, Harry Douglas, Max Whittle, Alfie Curwen, Kyran Webster, Afernee Denise, Harrison Howells, Alfred Igbinake, Jack Chandler, Edson Cata.
