Brentford B are in Middlesex Senior Cup semi-final action on Tuesday evening as they make the short trip to Hayes & Yeading United in a 7:45pm kick-off.
Fresh from their test against the Ukraine national team, the young Bees will be aiming to secure themselves a place in the final of the Middlesex Senior Cup- something they also achieved during the 2021/22 campaign.
Setting the scene
The B team have made it through to the semi-finals of this competition and whoever wins this match will face Harrow Borough in the final. The young Bees put up a stern test against Ukraine at the Cherry Red Records Stadium on Thursday last week which followed their match against Hendon in the London Senior Cup where they exited the competition following a 3-1 defeat.

Journey so far
The B team entered the competition this season at the second round stage where they were drawn away against Bedfont Sports. It was a match where the home team went ahead before Neil MacFarlane’s side battled back and claimed a 5-2 victory. Following that they headed to Wealdstone where they came away with a 3-2 win. Despite going ahead 2-0 the National League side managed to draw level before a very late goal from Romeo Beckham saw the Bees into the semi-finals.

Last time out
It was a memorable occasion on Thursday last week as the B team faced the Ukraine national team. The young side held their own for much of the game but were unable to prevent the two Ukraine goals which gave Ruslan Rotan’s side the victory as they warmed up for their European Championship qualifier with England.
