Everton U18s draw with Burnley

Everton U18s drew 1-1 with Burnley U18s this morning with a goal from Barker in the 75th minute and Burnley equalising with 3 minutes remaining.

After the fiasco of not naming two of their schoolboy substitutes against Newcastle U18s, the club seems to have done a U-turn with Ebere and Maher being named today.

Maybe it was Maher and Bates they refused to name that day. Checking back on the official website, I see they have now been added to the line-up for that Newcastle game.

I noticed that Daniel Maher had come on against Newcastle, Michael, but didn't remember he hadn't been named at the time.

This is my take on Schoolboys who have played or been named in a squad at U18 this season, any I've missed?

Seb Jensen (goalkeeper)
Ishe Samuels-Smith
Callum Bates
Daniel Maher
Matthew Apter
Coby Ebere
Emilio Lawrence
Martin Sherif

7 outfielders is a decent number of Schoolboys, particularly as three – Samuels-Smith, Lawrence, Sherif – have been regulars.

Phil, I do have a couple more names to add. Don't know if they are officially schoolboys or not:

Jacob Beaumont-Clark
Jack Butler
Saja Manafa
George Pickford

They've all been on the bench or subbed in at least once. Looks like Shae Cahill is now a regular – he's been involved in the last 6 games.

The only name I had listed that we haven't seen yet is Johnson Opawole – and a wonderful name it is too!

Just two more games left for these lads. Cheers!

Good calls, Michael, I'd forgotten about Jack Butler and Jacob Beaumont-Clark. They featured very early on, I can't remember them of late though. Beaumont-Clark was in and around the England set up with Lawrence. George Pickford is another goalkeeper.

Manafa is a first-year Scholar though. A comprehensive list.
