U21s travel to Jamaica for pre-season tour | Charlton Athletic Football Club

Following the club’s partnership with leading Jamaican football academy Mount Pleasant, Charlton’s U21s travelled to Jamaica on Saturday as part of their pre-season schedule.

Chris Lock’s side will face Mount Pleasant FC today at 4pm local time (10pm BST), before playing another game four days later in Jamaica.

The trip to the Caribbean comes after the young Addicks played their first game of pre-season against Millwall U21s at Sparrows Lane on Thursday. Goals from Patrick Casey, Ryan Huke and Micah Mbick helped Charlton to a 3-0 win in that game.

Once the U21s return from Jamaica they will travel to East Sussex to face Eastbourne Borough on Saturday, July 27th (KO 3pm BST), in a repeat of last pre-season’s 1-1 draw. 

After that, the young Addicks travel to Tonbridge Angels, another side they met ahead of the 2023/24 season. This time around the game will take place on Tuesday, July 30th (KO 7.45pm BST). 

The penultimate game of pre-season will come at Wolverhampton Wanderers U21s on Saturday, August 3rd (KO 2pm BST). The teams faced off twice last season in the Premier League Cup, with each claiming a 2-0 win.

Finally, the Addicks will round out their pre-season with a game against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday, August 10th, before the season begins the following week.
