Over 1200 fans came along to watch the future of football on a big stage as part of MK Dons policy of giving the youngsters a feel of what it is like to play on a league pitch.
Sadly the Dons lost with two goals from Butungu on 39 and 49 mins, the other two goals came from Solanke just before half time on 44 mins and Abraham made it four on 68.
A very impressive Callum Brittain scored a lovely goal by breaking through the defence and one on one with the keeper coolly slotted the ball home.
Both teams rotated the players although Chelsea only named two subs.
I enjoyed the game and always smile the difference in size of the lads at that age some look like grown men while others look like school boys which of course they are ! some of the quality shown at this level is pretty astounding the Dons boasted two Internationals amongst the team in Kevin Danso and Hugo Logan and it was easy to see why both have been called up.
Another player who caught my eye was Adam Hunt the young right back from Bedford who made some good passes as well as getting back to tackle impressively.
Sides lined up
MK Dons Under-15s: Van Der Schoot, Hunt, Bradbury, Danso, Collinge (c), Osei-Bonsu (Omar 56), Brittain (Kiwewesi 77), Hadden (Simmons 77), Owusu, Logan, Furlong.
Subs not used: Taylor, Tshikuna, Asonganyi, Jackson, Schulz.
Chelsea Under-15s: Tupper (Gyamfi), Tomori, Ali (a), Clarke-Salter (Benney 46), DaSilva, Sammut, Bakary (Makanjuola 46), Christie-Davies (Butungu 78), Abraham, Solanke, Butungu (Bakary 63).
Attendance: 1,221 this included the chairman Pete Winkelman and his daughter also MK Dons directors Andrew Cullen Sue Dawson (who helped out at the concession stand) and Reg Davis also a former Wimbledon FC director.

Is Robbo too big for Dons boots? - MK DONS - Milton Keynes Citizen
Is Robbo too big for Dons boots? - MK DONS - Milton Keynes Citizen
Personally I don't think so (in regards to this story which is basically responding to the rumours of Sheffield Unt supposed interest in Robbo) so no he not to big for his boots.
Reason being it was only ever a rumour and no official approach or even talks were made by Sheffield Unt so why should Robbo or even MK Dons comment on it ?
Robbo has moaned about budget restraints but what lower league manager doesn't ! he has also cited the injuries to key players through the season but then I think with MacKenzie Gleeson and Chadwick fit we would have at least made the play off's lets not forget how long Gleeson and Chadwick were out for and they were arguably our two best players.
Robbo is not perfect but he has been loyal to the club in the past when genuine interest was shown and for that reason alone I think he deserves our support .
My own view is Robbo has had three seasons to build a team and so last season was the one he should have done it but I sympathise with him and I think the injuries did cost us.
But it was his choice to have a small squad of quality rather than a bigger squad with more depth, in that regard the gamble did not pay off and he could have used his contacts to bring in players of same or better quality ! maybe he tried and was not given the money to cover wages those players would have cost but we will never really know for sure.
Either way I think the 2013-14 season will be crucial to Karl's future at the Don's a good cup run and the defeat of Kingston and QPR probably saved him this season gone but I do not think he will be so lucky again.

Blades made no approach for Robbo - MK DONS - Milton Keynes Citizen
Blades made no approach for Robbo - MK DONS - Milton Keynes Citizen
So everyone is getting their knickers in a twist over nothing stop listening to rumours from unofficial sources if he goes he goes getting all bitter before it never happens is not going to achieve anything lol.
And slagging him off when he has probably just been working on team for next season is even more stupid !!
