U18 Premier League
Crystal Palace 2 (Martin 4, Angibeaud 10) Arsenal 2 (Hashi 27, Bailey-Joseph 29)
Maalik Hashi and Brando Bailey-Joseph were on the scoresheet as Arsenal U18s concluded their campaign with a 2-2 draw away to Crystal Palace today.
Arsenal didn’t name any schoolboys in their matchday squad, most probably due to the Liam Brady Cup.
Callan Hamill returned to the side as captain, while Khari Ranson, Louis Zecevic John and Alex Marciniak made their final appearances for this age group.
Samuel Onyekachukwu, who also falls into that category, was named on the bench after an absence of several months.

Subs: B. Phillips (for Hashi, 59), Onyekachukwu (for Hamill, 79). Not used: Lupinski, Frohock.
Palace took the lead after just four minutes as Donte Martin scored.
It was 2-0 in the tenth minute as David Angibeaud found the net.
Arsenal managed to respond as Hashi reduced the deficit in the 27th minute before Bailey-Joseph equalised just two minutes later.
Bowen Phillips replaced Hashi just before the hour mark and Arsenal were given hope when Palace goalkeeper Jack Mason was sent off for fouling Zecevic John.
As Palace didn’t have a goalkeeper on the bench they finished the game with left-back Dean Benamar wearing the gloves.
However, Arsenal weren’t able to find a third goal and finished the season with a draw.
Adam Birchall’s side conclude a challenging campaign in 10th place and it is hoped that there will be considerable improvements next campaign.
