Noel Blake's U19s to face Scotland, Belgium and Georgia in Elite Round

England U19s will face opposition from Scotland, Belgium and Georgia in the Elite Qualifying Round for next year's Euro Finals.

The draw was made at UEFA's Nyon base in Switzerland, with last season's U19 captain Tom Thorpe making the draw alongside UEFA's Youth Committee Chairman Jim Boyce.

Noel Blake's side will have to finish top of the group if they are to progress to the last eight of the competition, held in Lithuania next July.

All eyes will no doubt be on the clash with 'Auld Enemy' Scotland, with the nations last meeting at U19 level at the same stage of the competition in 2009.

England won that game by 2-1 at Bramall Lane, courtesy of goals from Nile Ranger and Victor Moses as the Young Lions went on to reach the Final against Ukraine in Donetsk later that summer

Belgium will host the Elite Round, which will take place between 24-28 May. Venue details will be confirmed in due course.

The draw was also made for next season's First Qualifying Round, which will see England play Andorra, Switzerland and Slovenia (hosts) between 10-15 October 2013.
