With Blues and Boro involved in two Premiership games in 48 hours over the Easter period, the two clubs have agreed to field sides from their U17's for the game at Boro's training ground on saturday lunchtime.
Keith Bertschin's side are currently on a poor run of form, losing their last seven league fixtures and without a win in a Barclaycard Premier Reserves League game in 2004.
In the reverse fixture between Blues and Boro at Damson Parkway back in August, Middlesbrough ran out cosy 3-1 winners .. view report
Kick-off at Rockliffe Park is at 1pm.
