With the amount of teams in the competition this could have been more even so don?t tell me this is meant to be some pre season ?cup?. So edgy and NC are playing in a final in 13s or 14s (NC) that neither team even made the top 5. Crap format in my opinion.
Personally I want my boys playing an equal opposition in the trial games.They got nothing out of playing a club that were ranked a fair bit below them.If you gave any serious coaches a chance to play 4 strong trials or 3 easy ones so they qualify to win a tin cup then I think you'll work out where the problems are in youth football in this city.I agree the draw was certainly favourable to some clubs though but there is no perfect solution there.
