Young Blues beat Tranmere in the FA Youth Cup

Fraser Hornby gave David Unsworth's men the lead when he converted a penalty shortly before half time and Morgan Feeney doubled the lead three minutes after the break with a close-range finish.
Tranmere pushed to find a way back into the contest as the second period wore on and they hit the post after Shane Lavery had gone close to putting the tie almost beyond doubt.
Everton also hit the woodwork in the closing stages and held out for a 2-0 win.
Everton U-18s: Pierce, Moore, Harrington, Baningime, Lees, Feeney, Bramall (79' Denny), Kiersey, Hornby, Evans, Lavery.

Everton continually looked for the long through ball for the strikers to run onto and it was one such pass that was nipped past the Tranmere keeper by Hornby who was fouled in the process. Hornby converted the spot kick with a fan's favourite – blasted head height into the net.
Morgan Feeney was brilliant, snuffing out attacks with the minimum of fuss and always being in the right place.

Thanks for the info, John.

He switched wings and that worked a bit better but Shane Lavery continued to produce more danger from the wing than Bramall. Natural wingers play on the edge and so they need a lot of patience and support when they have an off-day.

How did Baningime play? He should be standing out, he's in the last year at U18s, he looks very useful.

Sounds a lot better than Hornby 0-0.
