That competitive thread was picked back up in 1920-21 and has run since. The side wears the same sky blue and white as the first team and answers to the same name, The Seagulls .

Its purpose shows in who has passed through it: Solly March, Adam Webster, Jack Hinshelwood, Ben White and Tariq Lamptey all made the same step up. The 2025-26 side won Premier League 2 Division 1, and the club has also taken the HKFC Soccer Sevens in Hong Kong twice, in 2024 and again in 2026.

Palace provide the needle, the M23 Derby giving these age-group meetings a sharpness that reserve football rarely carries.

Matches are played at the American Express Elite Football Performance Centre in Lancing, with the occasional cup tie shifted to Withdean Stadium.
