Men's U19 Team

Young Lions face Turkish test

Glanford Park is the venue for U19s fixture.

England v Turkey
International U19 Friendly
7pm, Tuesday 17 November 2009
Glanford Park, Scunthorpe United FC

England U19s return to home shores next month to take on Turkey at Glanford Park , home of Championship club Scunthorpe United,  in what will be their final game of 2009.

Noel Blake's team cruised through their UEFA European U19 Championship First Qualifying Round last week to secure their place in the Elite Qualifying Round next year.

The Young Lions won three games out of three in Slovenia to top their group and ensure they will be a seeded team for the next stage when they will be playing for a place in next summer's Finals which take place in France.

It will be England's second home game of the season so far, following on from the game with Russia in Shrewsbury in September when goals from Nile Ranger and Reece Brown were enough to secure a 2-1 win.

The U19s were last in action at Glanford Park just over two years ago when they won 6-0 against Romania in a European Championship qualifier in October 2007. 
 
Scunthorpe United's General Manager, Jamie Hammond, said " We are delighted to welcome back The FA and an England representative side to Scunthorpe. We hope to see a good turn out of fans with the excellently priced tickets for this game. It is a great opportunity to see future England stars, here at Glanford Park."

Tickets for the game are on sale now, costing just £3 for adults (£5 on the day) and £1 for concessions.
