Central League 2013

all started as 6yr olds with the club too - a few more on the make apparently....

All made central league debuts as 14yrs old... blooding the players earlier paying off... obvious with the U19 results - Making the final 3yrs in a row

Few more kids coming through -  Taban Makoii etc

Im talking about youth playing senior football news (Not where they started)

So very early on who is favourites to win the title and favourites to get relegated. Here is my early stab:

1=Miramar 2=Napier 3=Wairarapa 4=Olympic 5=Upper Hutt 6=Wests 7=Lower Hutt 8=Petone 9=Tawa 10=Wellington United

I heard Lower Hutt is looking strong this year

Not True.

Higgins started at Upper Hutt than to Stop Out than to Lower Hutt when about 15

Shrijvers started out at Petone than moved to Lower Hutt.

Pedant :)  Three  jnr All Whites squad members started with Lower Hutt FC club together as babes, (the other at 15).  I reckon that's worth putting a ring around.  Birko and Lower Hutt:  two clubs with very strong and successful youth development philosophies.  Big ups etc.

(Senor Schrivers would never let Petone claim role in his development for sure!!!:) )

"Chilean stars Jorge de la Torre and Jonatan Almendre will be playing for Wairarapa Utd in 2013, Both players represented Chile under-20's last year." Wairarapa Times Age.

Lol!! - 2 X chileans wont come cheap....

Chile is the new Fiji

With the banter about LH kids in u20s - are any of them actually destined for pro footy? I assume Basalaj is.

Wairarapa Utd - the ACFC of the South! Hasta la Vista! Arriba!

No word of new Olympic players?

Rapa sign Chettleburgh...that is a good signing

Campbell Banks to Miramar too

Peter halstead to return from his professional contract overseas to play for Miramar mid season. Luis Corrales to join him?

Rapas new signing - George Jermy former Norwich Acadamy player..

Had more clubs than Robbie Keane.

PREVIOUS CLUBS: Norwich City, Bournemouth, Dereham, CD Javea (Spain), Norwich United, Wivenhoe Town, Bishop's Stortford,  AFC Sudbury, Margate FC, Southern Stars VPL

He played for sheffield Wednesday??? or just in sheffield on a wednesday?

Naenae, Thursday

what time is the wairarapa game today? anyone know?

2 at Te Whaea, I think.

2 at te whaea im pretty sure. Is emi playing?

Emi playing for?

Yeah would have thought so, just see the comment above mine...Although I did hear a rumour he is back in Wellington for the Winter.

I heard that he might be back for TeeDubs next season, so if true it would make sense if he was playing winter football here.

Rapa get out the chequebook? 

 Heard upper Hutt are chasing him

Wow, they would be strong up front with Corrales and him. 

Ive heard he's going to be at rapa, stupid money apparently. Watched them play united yesterday and i think the final score was 4-2 to welly. Rapa obviously didnt have matt borren in goal because the terrible keeper gave away at least 2 of the goals. That score doesnt really reflect the quality of each team but welly united are looking much better than last year. As expected G has brought in a host of new players

The Upper Hutt spanish connection is working on Emi - Pedro, Luis and the returning chilliens - could feel like hes back at Auckland city

Maybe im talking about the language not the nationality dickhead

Boganville - you can take a day off for that.
