Wales under 21s blitz France at Ninian Park


WALES UNDER 21 4
FRANCE UNDER 21 2


Just as you feared there was little hope for Welsh football, a stunning Under 21's performance and result breathes new life.

Wales demolished France 4-2, deservedly so, and provided the best football entertainment seen at Ninian Park for many months in a show also beamed live on Sky tv.

What made it more incredible was that Wales were much younger and considerably more inexperienced that their French counterparts yet played them off the pitch. With 7 U21 players away with the seniors in Germany and an average age of just 18, it was astonishing.

From a Bluebird viewpoint, Aaron Ramsey and Darcy Blake both underlined the acute embarrassment Dave Jones must be feeling by standing by his same misfiring players whilst ignoring our up and coming talent.

With 4 wins in 5 and such superb football, the U21's have put themselves into a strong position of making the finals in Sweden next summer. They certainly won''t lack for support in upcoming games.
