Overview

The U18's 2013-14 season began as reigning champions from the previous season, and for the first time, looked to return to the Dallas Cup in America as champions. The FA had again shuffled the format of the league competition, this year there would be two Premier League tables of North and South regions. Fulham would compete in the South table, playing 10 sides both home and away. Additionally they would play each side from the North table once.
