Mayo Underage Soccer

[swinfordfc]

This system is working fine - all boys competition are now the same age groups across Europe and so are the girls, hence that why they are the way they are!

Girls are not, the age girls have gone back to where they were, how is it right that lads who are 12 have too play U14, boys at that age should be playing at U12 level, on small size pitches and small goals. The Mayo youths have admitted that they did not have to change the age levels. How is it good that the Mayo youths are running leagues at different age limits for boys and girls, how does what happens in Europe affect what happens here in Mayo.

It can be complicated if managers manage one or more teams within a club, but it's hard for them too because they've so many fixtures to play and just have Saturday and Sunday this time of year

Why is it hard for them put fixtures on alternative Sat., most of the leagues other than the U18's are nearly finished. It is tough for small clubs with a small pool base for players, competing for the same pool of players as the GAA.

Last Sunday, the 2014 Girls U14 cup final was played in awful conditions in Killala between Killala FC and Castlebar Celtic, why it was not played before this, no one knows, the semi-final was played a month or 2 ago. Celtic won the game 0-5, the thing is practically all the team was not from Castlebar, they were from Kilmore, Newport, Swinford, Claremorris. It contained 8 players of the Mayo U14's development squad. We had 1 girl from Ballina all the rest was from the Killala hinterland.

You should see the make up of Manulla's underage teams. They are constantly after players from other clubs.

[swinfordfc]

Its the norm now - until something is done about it - they will be only 4 clubs in the county cause the other clubs wont bother ..... and could you blame them?

Did anyone read the Connacht Telegraph this week, i have heard that there is a article in the CT about clubs poaching players from other clubs, i check the CT online but its not on it. CR i have been told has poached a very good player from us who was part of the Mayo Kennedy cup squad this year. I have been told that it quotes someone from Ballina town complaining about it, well they poached 2 players from us in the last couple of years. Someone talked about Manulla, they could not field a team at U17 level this year.

Round tower talk to Pete that went back to America, before making allegations and take everything to do with ballina town with a pinch of salt.... D O B signed for them and plays with their seniors that was from Killala and their top u16 player is from Killala too, they have lads from foxford, bonniconlon, Attymas, Crossmolina aswel

You are referring to last season when at the start of the season Kilmurray had no team at a certain age group, them players played with Killala and when in the second half when it went to even ages, kilmurray had a team they went back and played with them in the second half of the season.
Do CR have not players from outside Knockmore, you are some one to talk about BT, what i hear you are very wary of redheads, you tried to get one of our best young players to sign for CR, this player played for Connacht before he played for Mayo at youth level. as well as 2 the 2 Killala players who played on Mayo Kennedy's cup squad. The 2 players that you refer that played for Killala and now for BT, they were advised by their coaches at Mayo level to move to a bigger club and the had a better chance with Mayo. The U16 lad is supposed to want to come back to Killala but the family are against it, actualy he is from lacken and has a couple of sisters playing with Towns ladies team.

The Kennedy cup set up seems a prime target for so called bigger clubs to poach players from. What really annoys me the most about it is that the Mayo coaching staff encourage players to make these moves. Makes you think twice about sending players into these trials.

Totally agree with you, when we brought this up, they completely denied this.

typical moaning out of round tower. Be happy for your players. They are probably receiving superior coaching and will return to ye in years to come as better players. happenes every team get over it. even the bigger teams always have somebody even bigger trying to sign lads.

Typical coming from Conn Rangers, is Knockmore not big enough for players so ye have to go to other clubs for players. As for getting better coaching its very debateable, if Mayo academies coaches continue advising players from so called smaller clubs to go and join bigger clubs, what will happen is that clubs will stop sending players. As for players coming back to us, it has not happen so far.

No conn rangers player has ever been told by Mayo Management to leave to join a bigger club, Killala have every excuse why their best players leave, we never approached LT to join us, and PM junior knows that because he rang LT mother..... Plus all Ardaghs best players usually play for conn rangers like James carr/William Wallace/Stephen Rochford , duno how ye got LT in first place

Do you deny that CR or you tried to get one of our players AOB to sign for CR last year. Any player can sign for our club, we have a number of good soccer players playing for our club. Did ye not try to get him to sign for CR last year. LT mother was born in the Killala area and went to NS school in the Killala area before moving to Ardagh.
