EFL Youth Alliance, South East
Cambridge United U18 5 Milton Keynes Dons U18 2 (att 36)
A road closure and traffic congestion meant the last few miles of the journey into Cambridge were stressful, but I just about made it by kick off and was rewarded by a good game.
A powerful header gave the home side the lead, but MK Dons were level before half time thanks to a penalty.
Cambridge regained the lead soon after the break, and the visitors collapsed as they conceded twice more in just a few minutes. MK Dons pulled a goal back, but it didn't take the home side long to regain their three goal cushion.
Youth team matches can often be sterile and dominated by risk-free football, but this was very entertaining, and Cambridge in particular were impressive.
Cambridge United play Youth Alliance games at the Clare College Sports Ground, at least once the cricket season is over. It's a large and well-maintained sports field, with the under 18s fixture in the far corner from the pavilion and other buildings.
