I know of one club who likes to think they align with the Juniors next door yet did not give an opportunity to not one of these kids for there 15 SYL side this season yet in 2011 Under 13's they played in a GF and the same bunch of kids in 2012 Under 14's made it again to a GF.
Surely the Seniors could have taken a punt on a couple of kids from that group and backed there ability to bring them along and put a bit of polish on them ie develop.
