U21 Cliff Avenue u-21

[shamrocks and shenanigans]

metro-ford are a bunch of cheaters. has anyone else noticed that when their premier team plays at the same time as their u-21 team, they either lose or they barely get by. ex. weekend 8 - metro ford lost 2-1 to the whitecaps with their premier team playing on a different day, making there premier team players able to play. and then weekend 13 metro ford loses 3-0 to rciu, playing at the same time as their premier team, making them unable to play. also, metro-fords big striker, #9 i think plays for sfu's soccer team. so he shouldn't be able to play.

also, i play for PCOV so i can say we will be playing u-21 again next year. we are all 18's (first year out of youth soccer) with one 19 and one 20 year old. so pcov and rino should be the favorites for next year if the whitecaps don't join u-21. especially with ford, and rciu being a team with mostly 20's. cliff and yaletown just down right suck.

It's called a club system bud... Get used to it. Players are allowed to play down on permit, join a club a with prem team if its so unfair. I hate these WHINERS and I don't even play in the VMSL

If you are going to whine, you should at least be accurate - RCIU has 3 19 year olds and only 1 20 year and the rest are 18 with 2 barely 18 - they beat you today with kids basically the same age and you had 1 overage and so did they, their goalie. Junction is right, the club system allows two overagers - but you know that right?, you used one today
Metro Ford has lots of young guys and was set up to allow players to come in and out. the coaches at youth have not helped them and that has caused numbers problems when their coach thought there would be help there. They have no SFU players.

PCOV have a good side. That move the ball around really well. It's true RCIU are almost all u19 players as well. They have two players in grade 12. They only have one 20 year old. A nice team though aren't they. Their goalie is playing out to get in a run and have a good time that's why the older guy is playing in net after a long lay off. The younger goalie is an awesome goalie by the way.
It might be that they, RCIU, won't stick around in u21 as all their 1990 (u19) players are ex u18 select players that want to push themselves. They have beaten there own club's men's teams in some exhibition games so obviously some of them will play in Div 1 and possibly Prem next season.
The Wolves when at full strength were very strong too but seem older.
Westside have a good young team too. All the league needs is another 4 or 5 good clubs to step up and put in u19 players to play u21. Where are the North Shore clubs? How about another Vancouver club?
Cheers,
Kaapie.

League play is complete. Wfc, mf, rciu, and westside qualify for provincials. Congrats to all of them

Kaapie, they haven't had 'official' games against the aforementioned mens teams. The RCIU U-21 team is decent but to be honest, the standard in the U-21 league this year is not that strong. None of the U-21 players(perhaps one) are even close to being ready for Premier and the division one team has become much stronger over the last 4 weeks with some quality being added to the side. The Whitecaps group is obviously a class above everyone in the U-21 league. Those players could play division one and some premier, which they do already. The RCIU players lost 6 - 0 recently to that team so that shows there is a big gap between the rest of the teams and the Whitecaps group. Simon and Phil are doing a good job with the boys.

Kapitan:

Are Simon's boys still young enough to play U21? They showed a lot of promise when they played for us with their dad a couple of years ago in That Other Richmond League...

Cheers,

Trece

 

[Captain Shamrock]

Yes, Trece, they are young enough to play for another year or two.

 

[dezza]

Trece if you mean the twins, then they are too old.

 

[kaapie]

The twins?
Too old and too good for u21.
Perhaps Simon could lace em up?

 

[trece verde]

Trece if you mean the twins, then they are too old.

Actually, I did.

Simon lace 'em up? With his dodgy knees? Once upon a time, maybe, but now he's almost as slow as I am.

Simon has three of them all good. Dezza does not need any help with U21. It is div one club in need of players capable to play at that level. Both twins can play div one with ease. Only muscular pulls stop them from playing every so aften. Simon is a good coach someday he might take the helm and all of them can play together.
