Under 18's wanting to play at Senior Level
Permalink   

There was a post in unanswered qustions by an Under 18's parent and incase my reply is not seen i have put it under it's correct topic.

See my answer below:
I have managed the County League side for over a decade and the problem with the Under 18's is easily answered.
Firstly their Managers see them as their players and when a big game came around on a Sunday such as a top league clash or a Cup tie the players came out with an excuse not to play on a Saturday and sometimes two games was too much. 
Secondly all Under 18's have been asked to come to Pre-Season Training via their Managers. If they don't go to the training then we summise that they only want to play on a Sunday.  We will be training all through the season and if any Under 18 feels he wants to play for the County Side then come and see me or Paul Henderson or Ollie Driver. 
Out of John Atkinson's side i have had Rob Mathieson play, Matthew Innes, Dean Raine is playing and played in our Cup final at Borough Park as did Neil Jeffery who has joined John's side. Callum Johnston played but found it hard then decided to play for Longtown and Martin Hall was asked but he had played for Longtown ( Rod Bozalenski poaching) I ran all over the town picking up Carl Murphy and he moved to play for Gretna. 
Most of my side last year were between 16 - 20yrs old so if your boy wants to play then get in touch with the Under 18's manager or bring him to training. The itinery for training is on the website. We have a game tomorrow at the Sheepmount, bring him down and he will get a game. We want players who are commited to the Club. 
When selecting a side you have to think ahead and what selection entails. If the Under 18's players cry off on a Saturday and let the County League side down and the player who has come in place of him has a good game then you have to say to the Under 18 sorry but you are not playing this week you were unavailable last week and i am not changing the side and he has to be patient to get back in the side and a number of the younger players follow Carlisle Utd and are only willing to play when Carlisle are away.
I know this is a bit long winded but to answer your question it is simple get the lad down to Senior training and games and he will get a game. Their are no favourites we want our Under 18's to sign and play for the Senior side.
We want to get the best for every player.

I have re-posted below the original comment, which was written on another thread-

"

Can i just ask why we dont have more of our under 18s in the couny team, from what i have seen, we can match anything the county have.  ??????



from a dad,s point of view


sorry no name but my boy still play,s"

 

There might be some misunderstanding here- but I think the post is referring to the County under 18s side, and not to City's County League team. But I stand to be corrected. wink

Brian u could be right.
Don't know if that is correct has the posting has not been answered.

It is a bit early to know about the Cumberland FA County Side i would have thought as the Youth League has not started yet that's why i thought he mean't the Carlisle City Reserves.

Wait for some reply

I think there has been some trials for the county under 18s - last Monday at Netherhall.

I don't know if anyone from City was involved.

Your right Brian it was under 16 and 18 trials but down to manager of team to send players he thought capable ,
The 16 age group team we have are all a year younger so didnt have any representing .
John or Keith might be able to enlighten you about 18s

as club secretary i can inform you that we get requests from the cfa, for players to attend county trials, these requests are passed on to the relevant age group mangers, it is up to them to put the players names forward, as they usually do, don't blame us if thay are not picked by the cfa!! west coast teams seem to be favoured here?biggrin

There were trials held last week for both under 16s and 18s at county level. I don't think anyone from City was involved with the 16s, but the City side are young at that age-group (under 15s this season).

The under 18s I am not so sure about- I know I put a news item on the City website about the trials- a week or two before they took place. It might not be too late yet- after all, it's still July- it seems ridiculously early to be holding trials.

If anyone is keen to play for the county, I would suggest they speak to their coach- I'm sure there are no issues between the club and county.
