Saints U18s draw West Ham in FA Youth Cup third round

Saints face a rematch of last season's semi-final when they were knocked out by the Hammers at the London Stadium.

The memorable cup run was the furthest for 17 years since Saints last reached the semi-finals in the 2005/06 season.

West Ham went on to win the competition, for the fourth time in their history, in dominant fashion to cap off a double-winning campaign for their age group.

This season, Calum McFarlane's Under-18s will travel to the capital in the third round, with the tie to be played by Saturday 16 December 2023 at the latest.

Full fixture details will be confirmed in due course.
