The clubs getting the best results in youth are generally playing the better football,especially in the 13/14 age group where the first crop of JDL kids are coming through.Winning is a by product of the work they have put in.Theres plenty of good football being played by teams that dont get the best results as well and id bet they will get the results in the long term if they stick with it.Id love to see clubs rewarded with incentives for JDL and youth kids to make it all the way through to grade.
