Don't kid yourself that Springs have some sort of moral high ground. By my count of the team that started the semi and played most of the minutes in the tournament only 3 played throughout the 2015 season in Springs teams, that's 8 ring-in from St Kent's and elsewhere. 2 x 2001 born and 1 maybe 2? x 2000 born players.
I think you will find the Onehunga starting team in the semi and final had 7x 2000 born and 1 x 2001 born players
The real unsung team of this tournament is Ellerslie who seem to get little recognition. They again went deep into the championship end of the tournament with a largely unknown team, Ryan Shiffman? seems to be doing some really good things with the youth set-up there.
