The Birmingham City (FITC) players celebrate after scoring against Stratford

A second half goal from first year development player William Calkeld took Birmingham City FC (FITC) into the third round of the Birmingham FA Youth Cup last night.

The team, which is managed by Dean Holtham, Birmingham City FC's Community Director, remain unbeaten this season in both league and cup games.

They are currently top of the table in the Midland Floodlit Youth League Southern Division and the Football Conference Youth Alliance Central Division.

In the Floodlit League the team have scored an impressive 84 goals in eleven games and despite the big hitters being injured for last night's cup game, the team fought hard to beat a strong Stratford side 1-0.

The team are also through to the fourth round of the Midland Floodlit Youth League and round two of the Football Conference Youth Alliance League Cup, having beaten Watford's Youth Development side last week.
