Sunday was a historic day for the Academy, as the U15 team won the EFL U15 Floodlit Cup at Edgeley Park, defeating Bournemouth 3-2. Two goals from Joel Stott, separated by a Sam Sheridan strike, saw County lift the trophy, despite a late fightback from the visitors. County nearly got off to a flyer as Sheridan was released on goal. The winger twisted and turned inside the box, but saw his strike brilliantly tipped onto the crossbar.
