I believe that there are a lot of new underage kids signing up this year.
Yeah sure... That's the place to discuss it. Even though the committee decide the price, it's still put to the players to gauge the reaction and to decide if it's reasonable or not. That's how we do it anyway. Don't think it's really the sort of business I would be posting here although.Quote:

The pitch got the goalmouths re-sodded yesterday and it looks a helluva lot better for it.
All clubs must find the correct balance in registration fees.Quote:

Do you feel you are banging up at the bottom of an empty barrel just to create a lot of noise which none of us really care about.Quote:

it a bit like a king that lost his crown.:
Is that U.16 cup game against Claremorris going ahead tomorrow?
I see that the FAI Summer Soccer Camp is coming to Westport in August. Should be a great week for the kids that sign up for it.
how is the B team shaping up for the new season?. who is the captain?, is there many of the older lads still there like ian mc and olly mac?
Played a couple of challenges. Saw the 1-1 draw against Partry that was spoiled by the wind. Don't know who the captain is this term. Iain Mc is certainly playing again this year. Not sure about Ollie Mc. They're planning to blood in some youngsters. I reckon they will do fine this year.Quote:

more of a former player than a fan. ya they did quite well last year with the youngsters so i reckon they should stick by them. on a totally different note will ian ever retire? i reckon hes owed at least 3 testimonials at this stage.
Is it true one of the back bone or the rock of Westport has resigned his place on the Westport Committee, that being the great Kenny G.
What a great shame will be a big loss to structure of Westport,and failing on the committee not to resolve any outstanding issues, that were outstanding between them.:confused:
Iain McLoughlin is like a Duracell battery. He will keep going and going and going. When he has enough, he will pull the plug. Mind you, his retirement from the first team was a little premature; he ended up missing on getting an FAI Junior Cup medal as a consequence from that. He retired in October 2004, the following June, we all know what happened.Quote:

It's going ahead in Claremorris on Sunday at 2:00. If you are doing nothing, head to the game. Winners take on Urlaur United in the final.Quote:

Game took place in Urlaur's ground and Claremorris won 2-1. Heard that the kids were robbed.Quote:

Also heard on the grapevine that the gaffer is going to beef up the squad with a couple of new faces over the next few weeks. Away to Crossmolina in the league on Sunday. Three points will be lovely with an injury crippled squad!!:eek: :D
Whats the deal with letting PF go TB? Did he have a 'primadonna' moment or something?
Fine footballer but questionable attitude. Supposedly was being very unreliable to the squad during pre-season, and the gaffer felt that in the best interests of the squad that P.F. had to be released. It puts P.F. in danger of being left in the footballing wilderness with his constant chopping and changing of clubs and his general application to the clubs he plays for.Quote:

I don't think you're the first person in the world to say that and definitely not the last. It is very true with that statement. Person A would look after a team, organise training, have two laps as a warmup, pick two teams and throw in a ball for training.Quote:

The session would take on exercises concerning different techniques of the game and it could work on aspects of the game like shadow play and set pieces and may finish up with a conditioned or normal game followed by a warmdown. A good coach should log his sessions; organise preparation sheets and session planners and keep a copy of his player's medical sheet. He must have drinks and a first aid kit with him and provide the kids with a diet/stretch sheet.
