That has been the case from when I played boys club level more than 30 years ago. Galston now have a great set up and are well established in the valley , there was an effort made I would say about 10 years ago to set up a youth team in Darvel but like I said there was not enough kids to sustain it and it fell away. My nephew plays for Hurlford boys club and they are struggling for numbers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyeswideopen15 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Happens in Glasgow a lot off under 21 teams on the go just now Understand Ayrshire towns are smaller And a lot off towns don't have youth football teams But somebody needs to be that guy or girl to come forward And set one up for the kids sure if the gossip is right you can afford it Buffs got a under 21 team as well More teams do it and get on board You have got yourself a under 21 Ayrshire league But the youth teams need to be there first And when they reach a certain age they try out for under 21 teamThere isnt an ayrshire under 21 league. So teams full of 18/19 year old boys have 3 choices. 1.Wrap it. 2. Take the existing team to a league possibly some 50 miles away/ join a new team 50 mile away 3. Take the existing team amatuer or move to an amatuer team/junior For me none of them are ideal options. Alot of young guts now cant even afford to learn to drive till they are older and now too old for mummy and daddy to shepherd them about 3 days a week. And for me the majority of guys that age arent ready for the play amatuer/junior football as it's too physical. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
