CCB 17's had a solid win against Wallsend 17's last night
10-0 ......I think
Wallsend were not up to task but CCB boys made the most space and lack of pace
I pretty impressive performance
Maybe some might push for 19's as they played after and were even when I left, but Wallsend looked the better team, especially in the midfield.
Sounds to me that you like the way they are coming together blue manQuote:

As for 19's it's a big jump, especially for 15-16 yo kids
19's finished 3-1 to Charlestown. One of the Wallsend guys filled me in. Apparently two of their players were taken to hospital with injuries which is always sad to see. Charlestown must have some quality in the 19'sQuote:

But I suppose that won't happen when kids have dads who coach and dads who manage........disappointing
Hope kids taken to hospital are ok ???Quote:

Rib cartilage damage in one & broken fibia in 2 places in the other.
From the reports that I received it was the same CCB guy involved in both incidents, if so he must be feeling pretty terrible & I'm sure he's contacted our coach and/or the injured fellas already.
Looking forward to the 23's trial on Thursday & the FFA Cup on Saturday,should be a good test for our guys.
One had a rib injury and the other looked like acl unfortunately. I see no wrong with 17's playing up in 19's. Happens all the time in New-FM (granted the NPL is a much tougher competition). If they're good enough at 16/17, then they should be playing 19's, at least off the bench.Quote:

CCB, Weston, Edgy & magic
Some real talent as well, most of them won't be bench warmers either
Adamstown have a couple 15 year olds in the 19's alsoQuote:

Haha, that's not something I would rely on. Depends on the player obviously but some kids don't care if they injure players and are happy to do it.Quote:

Not in any particular order I think the teams to watch will be -
U17s - CCB, Weston, Olympic and FMNC
U15s - EJ, Jaffas, Weston and Olympic
U14s - EJ, Magic, Jaffas, FMNC
Not sure about U13s. I would like to hear from anyone who has been following them.
A bit of guess work in these predictions, but would welcome feedback on why some teams are looking good and others are just making up the numbers.
Yes the boys get to have a kick this weekend, unless they are playing at westy, 😜
17's I think a bit more if the same from last years 15's so CCB, Weston & Olympic
Buds, FMNC to be good with Valo to be the smokies
15's FMNC & Buds
14's don't know
13's EJ's & Edgy two good coaches that should develop kids nicely, will enjoy watching these kids
But really who knows just hope they all play well, no injuries and all the kids enjoy themselves
And so it begins again for 2016. Early results from Darling St. Olympic win 13s 3-2 & 14s 2-1
Olympic 3-1 over Weston in 15s and Olympic lead 1 nil at halftime in 17s.
Final score in 17s 3 nil to Olympic.
