Our Under-19s have stormed into the semi-finals of the Volksbank Cup in Germany after an unbeaten first two days of the tournament.

Having seen off SV Rödinghausen 2-0 and then drawn 1-1 with Lokomotiv Moscow on Thursday, we beat VfB Stuttgart 3-0 and Werder Bremen 1-0 today (Friday) to top our group with 10 points from a possible 12 in the annual Stemwede competition.

It means we'll face Red Bull Brazil, runners-up to Fulham in the other group, on Saturday (10.30am UK) for a place in the final. Fulham will face Werder Bremen in the other semi.

Jack Roles and Samuel Shashoua have been our chief marksmen so far, scoring six goals between them, while goalkeeper Charlie Freeman, who endured an injury-hit domestic season with our Under-18s, kept clean sheets in his two outings against Rödinghausen and Werder Bremen.

Playing games of 20 minutes each way, we hit the ground running on Thursday with midfielder Roles netting on 10 and 27 minutes to give us a 2-0 victory over Rödinghausen. Striker Kazaiah Sterling opened the scoring against Lokomotiv Moscow later in the day on 17 minutes but we were pegged back six minutes into the second half and were held to a draw.

Friday morning saw attacking midfielder Samuel Shashoua, starting for the first time alongside younger brother Armando, fire us into a seventh-minute lead against Stuttgart before doubling his tally six minutes later. Brandon Austin stood firm in goal and Roles completed a 3-0 victory 12 minutes from time.

Then, facing off with Werder Bremen, who had also taken seven points from their opening three games, for top spot, we battled to a 1-0 win thanks to Samuel Shashoua's 20th-minute effort.

We last reached the semi-finals of the competition in 2015 when we lost out to Liverpool but coach Wayne Burnett will be eyeing further progress this time around as we reach the business end of the tournament on Saturday.
