For Everton, that meant a game with a team each from Groups C and D. Everton then played three teams from the closest Group A. For the main part of the season, Everton played each of the other teams
in the local Group A, both home and away. They finished up playing
each of the other teams in Group A again, giving 28 matches in
all. |

We went a goal down on 25\mins when Litchfield put the visitors in front, a cross in from the left, only half cleared, put back in again from the left, this time Litchfield beat the defenders to the ball. Alan Kearney saved the day on the half hour mark, cleared the ball off the line. Half time: Everton 0 - 1 Nottingham Forest Gary Abblet made a couple of changes on the hour mark and within a couple a minutes it paid off:

Morrison. icLiverpool: Everton under-17s made it eight wins from nine matches with a 1-0 victory at Leeds to consolidate their position at the top of the Group A table. Substitute James Vaughan grabbed his first goal of the season 15 minutes from time as Gary Ablett's side completed an early Academy League double of the Yorkshire side. Christian Seargeant fed Vaughan just inside the box and, after turning his marker, he lifted it over the advancing keeper. Coach Gary Ablett said: "It was a good workmanlike 1-0 win. It could have been better, but I think there was only ever going to be one team who was going to win and that was us. But we could have made it easier for ourselves by scoring a couple more. We were missing our goalkeeper Craig Gallagher, who is a very important player for us. He was out with a bad hamstring and Sean Wright was ill." Match Reports: EvertonFC.com icLiverpool.com |

U-17 League Match No 14 Saturday 22 November 2003 Manchester Everton: Gallagher; Wynne,
Hughes, Kearney, Wright; Seargeant, Wilson, Harris, Boyle; Hopkins, Phelan
(80' Vaughan). Centre-back Hughes opened the scoring five minutes before half-time for his third goal of the season. United levelled from the penalty spot just before the break. But there was no stopping the young Blues in the second half. Christian Seargeant takes the credit for the second after his free-kick went in off a United defender six minutes after half-time. But there was no dispute about the scorer of the third as Seargeant made it 3-1 on 78 minutes. And 16-year-old Hopkins wrapped things up in the final minute with his third goal this season.

Hughes, Kearney, Wright; Johnson (80' Irving), Seargeant, Harris, Boyle;
Hopkins (75' Fowler), Phelan (75' Vaughan?). EVERTON under-17s moved to within one point of FA Premier Academy League leaders Manchester United with a five-star performance against their neighbours City. It was the perfect tonic after the Blues crashed out of the FA Youth Cup in midweek at Coventry City. Full-back Stephen Wynne opened the scoring, volleying home from the edge of the box when a corner was cleared straight to him after half-an-hour. And although the Blues were always on top it wasn't until the second half that they made their superiority tell. Striker Paul Hopkins hit two goals in ten minutes to take his tally for the season to five. Further strikes late on from Boyle, who slid in at the far post and substitute James Vaughan, who smashed home after a good turn made sure the Blues ran out emphatic winners.

(78' Vaughan), Phelan. Steve Milne: With just one game left of the normal season, a victory tonight would make us league winners. In a poor first half, neither side could carve any chances ; I think it was down to nerves as a lot was riding on the game. Right from the restart we looked the better side, and within a couple of minutes we scored.
We are the Champions.............. of Group A! Next: the playoffs!!! Match Reports: EvertonFC.com icLiverpool.com |
