Walsall Under-18s were back in action on Tuesday evening as they made their way to Nottinghamshire and took on Notts County Under-18s in the opening round of the EFL Youth Alliance Cup.Heading into the game on the back of a disappointing 5-1 league defeat to Bradford City, a match that saw the Bantams score three penalties on the way to an annoyingly comfortable win, the young Saddlers were looking to get back to winning ways.
