Youth Team in Action

Accrington Stanley U16s were in action last night against Blackburn Rovers in preparation for the full-time youth program.

A huge well done to the players, who put in an excellent performance last night against Blackburn Rovers. The match provided an invaluable opportunity as the squad continues preparing for the full-time Youth Team program, officially beginning in July 2026.

A big thank you once again to Blackburn Rovers for hosting the fixture and providing high-quality opposition for our young players.

Well done to all involved—we look forward to seeing the squad continue to grow throughout the season.
