FOOTBALL fans will again get the chance to see some of Britain’s best young talent as the academy sides of Norwich City and Hearts come over next weekend.

They are playing in the second edition of the Clydesdale bank International Tournament at Foote’s Lane, which will also involve the senior sides of Guernsey Rovers and Jersey Scottish.

After the success of last year’s inaugural event, where Motherwell and Hamilton were the visitors, Clydesdale have decided to repeat the round-robin format, where all six games will be an hour long.

And it is almost as good as it gets for visiting quality, with Norwich under-18s currently third in the FA Academy league and still in a title race, ahead of both Arsenal and Chelsea.
