coach Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I hear Shettleston Juniors and Glasgow East Boys' Club have finalised an arrangement to run an Under-21 under the banner of the junior club during season 2018-2019. The current East 1999s squad are in their last season together, and the partnership will take them to another level. For those who know Shettleston Juniors, have they had an Under-21 team nursery before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holsten Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I think Tower Hearts used to be the feeder club for them .....I think there is about 3 or 4 players in First Team just now Tough gig running u21s teams I think 3 teams (West Park,Ashfield & Whitlett Vic) have already went pop this year in West of Scotland prem league and another 4 in the 2 leagues below The hard bit with starting to join WOS U21S from moving up from 19s is you start at bottom league and even if you win the leagues your in by the time you get into the premier league you might lose your spine of team as they are over age .....

glensmad Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I'm not sure that there was anything official between Tower Hearts and Shettleston. In recent years several of Tower's top players when over age have gone elsewhere. Dale Simeon, Sandro Savarese, Connor Brannigan and Ryan Kerr are four who spring to mind, mainstays of Tower's league and cup winning teams before following coach George Fotheringham to Cambuslang Rangers. Savarese, Brannigan and Kerr have since followed Fotheringham to Glencairn, with Brannigan now at Bellshill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glensmad Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Having said that, good luck to Shettleston in this venture, it's a route we went down in 2010 when Willie Harvey arrived at the club and it's worked well for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nipples Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 They took on Seafar Villa as their U21 team in around 2008 I think. Think that lasted 2 or 3 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
