The Cherries Under 18 side travel north today in preparation for the biggest match in their careers so far as they take on Bolton Wanderers tomorrow night in the FA Youth Cup Third Round at the Reebok Stadium.

Joe Roach is delighted with the support of Paul Frank's Player Raffle which has enabled them to have all the right preparations for the match, a game that Joe is looking forward to;

"We have watched six games that Bolton have played on DVD and I've picked out various things from those so that we are totally prepared for the game.  We have had training sessions with that in mind and today we are training at Wolves on the way up.  We are preparing ourselves akin to how the first team are expected to be prepared, and we are setting our stall out and will go there with confidence.

Paul Frank and the supporters who have helped us get this trip underway have been fantastic for us as they always are in support of the youth team.  People putting their hands in their pockets to help us has been very much appreciated by myself and the lads.  It means that we can go there and be as well prepared as we possibly could be.  I know some supporters are making their way up there to support the lads and that is absolutely fantastic.  People go up and down the country every week supporting the team, so to contemplate travelling so far at this time of the year to support the youth team, well, words defy that sort of loyalty to the club.  It shows the respect that the supporters have for the youth programme."
