UCL

Post by Poppies(1872) »

I have heard on good authority R&DFC have applied for UCL status next season.

Would it be the Beasants that done this?

There is a cut off date for applications to the F.A for placements in the Non League structure, therefore we may have indeed applied for UCL in case other avenues go tits up.

Off course if we get the money or backers to survive the current situation we could withdraw our application.

I would imagine that the decision we be made this week on our Future.

I'd be more than happy if we could keep our youth team together and stick them in the UCL. Be bloody good entertainment I reckon, we've a cracking youth team.

Suppose that depends on what pitch you were watching and what view you take, my son plays for a local development side that got invited yesterday and KTFC were stronger than Diamonds albeit not much stronger.

And baring in mind they have only been around a year I think with no funding.

Lots of good local talent, for good local football in years to come hopefully.

I can only speak at under 9 level which rdfc were unbeaten in the group stages and played some good football although they lost in the final(not to ktfc),regarding the funding diamonds is self funded like ktfc. and ihave to agree it can only benefit the local area with the boys of all sides gaining quality coaching

I might of watched some of that age group when I went to the loo, if they were on the astro.

Lots of good players, enjoying playing with a smile.

Did hear one parent say KTFC u9s have only been together since xmas but both sides looked good

All bodes to a good future.
