Don't think it has any. The license documentation says you just have to have a certain number of underage teams. Even if you don't you can probably get around it by having some local club affiliate to you.
#NeverStopNotGivingUp
Castlebar 1-3 Derry, as per Aertel
Salthill Devon 5 - 0 v Finn Harps
playing derry again this week maybe thursday
Any idea when these are to be played? Looks like Derry 1st, Salthill 2nd - presumably top teams get home draws?
sligo rovers v derry city thursday 8pm in the showgrounds
Sligo Rovers 0-4 Derry.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
I thought it was 5, and it prob should have been 10.
Was this the last u20 game for rovers? hopefully yes.
First half not to bad but a dreadfull 2nd half, Derry are in a different league, but we helped to make them look good.
We started this competition away to Salthill Devon and Finn Harps and picked up 4 points, we looked like we could compete against anyone.
Wrong.. things have gone downhill since, just pure reliefe its over.![]()
2 big players decided to leave for junior football. our goalkeeper has been away all season with mayo gaelic, and is now away in college. another of our best players broke his collar bone early on, one broke his jaw and another had to get two operations on a leg injury in july or so. and danny fallon left for UCD. its not been an easy season but most of the squad are still 17/18 so theres still time to improve for these young lads.
not making excuses but any team would struggle losing 7 or 8 starting players so early in the season. found it hard at times to even have a few subs the injuries go so bad
Rovers u-20 team are very poor in fairness...not one of them look capable of playing for the first team regularly.

We know that players left but is anyone coaching whats there?
yeah and hes doing the best he can with what he has, the club need to step upto the mark aswell and give a hand with things. one man cant run the whole reserve/u20 set up. they cant even give us a physio, and no one tells the manager where were playing until about a day before a game, the club change alot of home fixtures at the last minute to junior grounds around the town and county
I agree that the club don t care , and I know there are players out injured but at times , not just tonight, its like every man for himself.
Rovers were a shambles at full time, lost their shape, couldent make a challenge, couldent keep the ball.
At the moment I would agree but some of those lads are only 16/17. There are 1 or 2 lads with a good 1st touch, good passing , can read the game and calm under pressure, but if they dont get coaching and play with better players they wont make it.
The next 2 yrs is important for them, they should be training with the 1st squad.
the performances havnt been great admit that meself. no confidence or belief really, dont know can that be worked on or is it a case of either you have confidence or you dont. footballs all about confidence., the younger fellas have ability and can improve for next year
