NIF have pulled out and NCF can only field U13-14-15
So much for the rigourous NPL criteria last year.
Surely one of the criteria conditions was that you have enough juniors to make a squad.
We are seeing some lopsided scorelines in the last few trial matches so far in pre-season..
Magic 9 - Charlestown 2 - 13's
Jets 10 - Lambton 3 - 13's
Edgeworth 18 - Valentine 0 - All age groups
Edgeworth 5 - Weston 0 - 13's
Is this usually a trend or are we seeing a decrease in player talent?
This will happen when rep sides form a team in a competition, nnswf need to do something, especially when some clubs offer push bikes and boots to get kids over the line
Serious ??? ^^^
Hope he took the bike and rode back to ulinga?
I shamed them when I rang and mentioned my cousins name and what had occurred, blushes all round
Youth kicked off this weekend.. Some interesting results all over the board..
13's - Magic 10 - Lambton 0?? Hartley with 8 or 9 SAP players over there.. Olympic 12 - Valo 0?? North Coast with their first victory in NPL!
16's - Massive scorelines.. 7-0, 6-0, 4-0, 7-0
Hamilton are very strong in 13's.. Not unbeatable though, losing to Jets 1-0 last week
Magic 13s down 1-0 yesterday but all other grades got up
NIF seem to be a decent inclusion this year.. Big strong boys who want to play football.. After three rounds all of their teams seem to be going okay
