its nice that Lovren has passed on his skills to the pool defenders for goal no3
The other team were all 8 years older than they are supposed to be?

The saints coach Rob Edwards said the team is a young one for the age group. Interesting that Saints took a full on back room staff of physio's and sports scientists.
Aren't Right to Dream affiliated to Man City in some way? Like their academy in Africa or something?
That was my suspicion. Combined with us playing under age players, the difference could be several years.
Most probably. When I lived in Uganda I often read in the local press about local youth/school teams travelling to Europe and winning tournaments yet have never produced a footballer of consequence and the local league was a poor standard. I spoke with football loving Ugandans (all top 4 EPL fans and all bemused I followed Saints - they saw no point in following a team that was not winning nearly every week) who freely admitted they would field many older players (some had played in such tournaments as overage players) and it was the accepted norm that to win at all costs as this would mean further invites to play in Europe with expenses paid.
Sorry for the slow response; flown to New Delhi on business and playing catchup. l took a couple of years out sinking boreholes and motorising them in refugee camps in North Uganda and Southern Sudan; designed the water distribution systems in the camps so that they had running water. Did this for various NGO's like Oxfam, MSF, World Vision etc. Tough living but very rewarding.
Fantastic Romsey, really special that. I only did a couple of weeks in Kenya, but even that opened my eyes.
Really good stuff giving two years fella
Lloyd isgrove is a strange one. 22, and still in our u21 squad despite being given a new 2 yr contract.
Presumably we make more money if we keep him under contract and then sell him than if we let him drift out of contract. I'm willing to bet he will get the odd game this season (at least from the bench).
Pretty sure Isgrove was only kept on for the Europa league squad. He is the only player over 21 who counts as home grown at club I think
U21's play Man City tonight. Live on You tube- strong side
