    Well done boys, great result, fantastic season

    They have been solid all season and proved their worth at this level. If they want to continue their progression then the next step is a huge one for them. Who do you think we could see on the bench and eventually starting a few games next season

    There's plenty who have done their chances no harm at all, here's my list I think we may see next year at some point, probably bench and cup games. I only saw two games but these impressed, didn't see Grimes or Fulton play but they're in list due to positive reports I've read

    Raheem Hanley (Left Back)

    Matt Grimes (midfield)

    Kenji Gorre (Winger) - Crying out for a chance

    J Fulton (Midfield) - Solid, solid, solid

    Josh Sheehan (Midfield)

    Steven Kingsley (Left/Right back)

    Pretty obvious list, what you reckon chappies?

    Fantastic achievement by the youngsters winning a trophy to follow the under 19's achievement earlier....this winning things is spreading throughout the club...

    Unfortunately not many youngsters make it through to become regular first team players, not even at the big clubs. It's a very low percentage of players who make it through from the development squad. It wasn't long ago some on here were asking why Rory Donnally was not in the first team, the reason is obvious now not ready or not good enough. Looks as though he will be moved on at the end of this season so not good enough in Rory's case. People need to remember it's a massive step up from youth to first team especially in the Premiership. I've watched quite a few of the development matches over recent seasons and this year we do have a small number of players who may well establish themselves as fringe first team players next season the obvious ones being Grimes, Foulton and Gorre and possibly Shehan.
