Knights 19s Cup has been changed to the 5th Feb only as there have been limited interest so far. The idea for this is to give youth teams that have no summer cup a chance to compete prior to the season and sort out their teams etc. Please advise as soon as possible if you would like to enter your youth teams. This event was organised very late and this was due to us not knowing whether there would be a summer cup for 19s as mentioned last year.
Also with Chelsea Clinics, This event is supported by Vikings Futsal and we will help promote but the entire clinic and event is run by Football Coaching International and Chelsea Football Club Academy.
Hi Walter,
Just wondering if you have heard much with Div 1 this year?
Player movements etc...
I hear Metro & Nelson look strong with some good yound kids about
Eagles to win 5-0 with alot of youth to get majority of the game time
only problem with your youth is corey. you still have players like nowicki and harrison playing.. and then playing players in odd positions. . i watched the south hobart game, and corey was playing a very talented mid feilder. who has scored numbers of goals the year before in every game.. in left back!
