Hi Go AWAY , Can I kindly ask what you base this comment on with regard Atown ?

Atown had an under 17s player make the bench for 1st grade , had I believe about 4 or 5 players under the age of 19 start 1st grade games (with two playing all of the season in 1st grade) and had multiple under 22s sit on the bench and start games during the course of the season.

I would harness the view that Atown afford youth a fair amount of opportunities in 1st grade.

But please don't let a good witch hunt get in the way of FACTS now !
