Its not just Rathkeale though - youths in the whole league is gone poor numbers wise but its been coming for a number of years!!
Its nigh on impossible to keep lads interested it seems these days
@HaveIt - thats a good point on the reports and the Observer is good to print most of what they get - I try and do reports for our Junior games but I'm not at all the games for both teams - I can see why its not done though - at underage in most clubs there is a core of maybe 2 or 3 running the whole the show - in some cases i'd say parents have never been to a match to see their child play - pushing sport to a kid from 8-13/14 at home I think is vital - lot harder to develop this laissez faire attitude that a majority of young lads have nowadays
Kilcornan Youths were a fantastic team last season and have been up along but with a number going over age and a few moving there's no team this year and not for the foreseeable future either i'd say - Outside of NCW, Abbey and the other teams with big towns you might see a 4 or 5 team Youths division very soon!
