[Lan Logger]

[Captain Jack Sparrow]

nice result, considering we couldn't beat 'em!

since last season, our youths been on fire. i am beginning to think maybe they could be better than our 1st team

 

[Chris-Gashead]

Youth might be the way we go with all these injuries

 

[Captain Jack Sparrow]

i know tonight was against clevedon and i didnt actually see the game but even though we have lots of young players and players who have a lack of experience, i think players like harrison, santos, lockyer, keary, harding will all do well. we will struggle if we play too many at once but i think they will all do well when get given the chance. im more optimistic now about the youth.
