Interesting that Sturt are playing Richard Tambling against the U18 State Squad tomorrow.... I reckon some of the younger lads will touch him up.

Rory Laird - moved well and slotted some goals

GOOD NAME!!!!

Yes, quite often over the last 2 seasons, I have seen R.Laird listed for the Bloods Under 18's and wondered if the lad is related.

Not a relative apparently of the great Central coach Roy Laird, but a good young footballer by all reports, nonetheless.

no relation at all, played his junior football at Kenilworth. good lad to coach.

Interesting that two lads from Centrals are both from the country zone. Not too much coming from the ageing metro zone lately..

ha, they dont even look at the metro zone.
pretty political out there with metro players V Gawler (i mean country) players.
some very good talent in the metro zone but they prefer to go with the country lads instead.
i think i heard that the squad for U/18 games is cut to 24 with usually 22 country players.

Tend to agree,

Eastern Park has 4-5 kids under the age of 18 playing in their Div 1 amatuer A Grade side yet they cant get a look in at Central where there is kids who are playing colts in the Barossa.

A young lad from Eastern Park called Ian Williamson is an absolute gem, the first club to pick him up has hit a gold mine.

Notice a kid in the squad with the name Huppatz from WWT. Any relation to Ray?

No. Maybe a distant relation though.

Lucky they didn't want a photo of the entire squad,considering they shared only 3 guernseys for the 38 individual pics.(no. 5,28 and 45)

[Mark_Beswick]

You know you are getting older when you have taught some of these kids when they were in year 4

Some really good talent in the squad

If you wont tell, can you at least elude to the fact of whether it was 'amazing good' or 'amazing bad'?
