Brentford will play Liverpool in the Milk Cup semi final tomorrow.

Despite losing to Everton 3-2 this afternoon, two goals in the second half by James Ferry and Courtney Senior secured fourth position as nearest challengers South Coast Strikers could only manage a 2-2 draw with Dundalk while County Tyrone lost 3-2 County Amargh.

There was concern that Queens of South had sneaked past The Bees after a 2-0 victory, but Brentford finished in fourth position by scoring one more goal in the competition.

Kick off will be at 7.30pm tomorrow at Coleraine Showgrounds.

Ose Aibangee was delighted his side had qualified for the Milk Cup semi finals.

"It was fully deserved that we qualified after beating County Londonderry and CSKA Moscow and matching Everton for long periods of the game," he said.

"Tomorrow's game against Liverpool is another great opportunity for the boys to show that they are one of the top teams in the Milk Cup.

"It's great to be playing Liverpool - one of Europe's top sides.

"We are really looking forward to the game - especially as we have a good relationship with them.

"We are hoping tomorrow's game will be another good game of football and that with a bit of luck we might make it into the final".

There is plenty of excitement from within the camp and confidence is growing after today's game.

The game was again at an awkward time with kick off at 1.30pm.

This meant the team didn't get to eat lunch until 3.45pm and soon after they were off to the local swimming pool for a warm down.

The swimming pool clinic allows the players to get rid of the excess lactic acid in the muscles and aids recovery by removing stiffness.

After the session the players headed back to base and were given a video of today's game.

They were given an exercise to write down the positives and negatives of their performance.

The boys had dinner at 8pm before calling a night at 9.30pm.

Confirmation of the kick off time didn't come through until after the players had gone to bed which left lots of discussions between the staff to work out a plan for the day.

Tomorrow will be a big day for the players in their young careers.
