Ben is in the group as a representative of the younger players. It is a pity that Olympia have incurred so many injuries this season, including those to Kosta and Hugh that have resulted in Ben wearing the armband.<br /><br />It doesn't really matter what Ben achieved last year as a 15 year old at Clarence but he is working as hard as anyone to help Olympia and I am sure isn't taking anything for granted this year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290088887405022587.post-89050383193621810382010-04-25T18:47:22.386+10:002010-04-25T18:47:22.386+10:00Give BP a break.

The reason Chris Hey gave him the captaincy was because he puts in the hard yards at training and works for the team. He would be a bench player at Clarence because unlike Olympia most other clubs don't reward the players that put in. I agree with Anonymous (11:03). Us players do need to look at ourselves and pick up our game. But I believe results will come. Another thing, I have heard in the woodworks that there are talks of not relegating a team this season. Can anyone confirm this?Hardmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290088887405022587.post-34863221857580957642010-04-25T13:52:10.219+10:002010-04-25T13:52:10.219+10:00hard to drop your olympia captain especially when ...hard to drop your olympia captain especially when he was gaurenteed a game every week regardless of how well he plays .bench player at clarence at best .but good luck saw a chance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290088887405022587.post-77816811490348302972010-04-25T13:38:15.163+10:002010-04-25T13:38:15.163+10:00what is the coach of olympic thinking asking playe...what is the coach of olympic thinking asking players to look up to a 16 year old kid to lead them .hardly inspirational.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290088887405022587.post-17456370369777613292010-04-25T12:48:21.088+10:002010-04-25T12:48:21.088+10:00zebras still conceding goals far to easily. great ...zebras still conceding goals far to easily. great in attack but not very solid at the back. could be a close season if they beat south next weekend...Deltanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3290088887405022587.post-90076523639487558312010-04-25T11:31:31.859+10:002010-04-25T11:31:31.859+10:00not leaders Mr Hay says then maybe he will have to...not leaders Mr Hay says then maybe he will have to re-think his young captain then .
