Another club folding!?

[St Darren]

When I was playing in the seconds. We had a squad of 14/15 every week and probably 12 of us lived in the village and others had connections. I think it’s the same nowadays with the seconds and thirds. But not so much for the first team or the ladies team! The club so incredibly well to field what they do through the hard work and reputation of a few individuals. 

But for other villages is this the case? I live in chacewater now and I don’t see the numbers of younger males around

Sad but true!

Ironic that you mention St Agnes Daz, as that seems to be where the majority of Chacewaters good 1st team players of last year are now playing!! Not enough young men in aggie by the look of it. 

Disappointing to see a club with so much history and hard working committee folding, but as everyone has said, a sign of the times.

Yeah that is true Phil. I think there’s 4 or 5 aren’t there? But unfortunately you can make players play can you. 

Shows I suppose that possibly St Agnes are running out of locals as well!!!

Older going around clubs locally more people are thinking the same way , speaking to a customer as a coach his sons team haven't stopped playing all year with tournament football through the summer in the so called off season

Absolutely agree. My son's team trained or played tournaments all through the summer. As much as he was delighted to be playing football, by the time he is 16 will probably have had enough and other 'distractions' may well take precedence.
