Both Nelson and Western are very young but are my pick for the top two at the end of the year. Western have the advantage of University players.. Nelson on the other hand have six players still at college, the youngest being 15. the good players tend to leave to Wellington, Christchurch or Dunedin for Uni, or just better opportunities as we've seen with U17 keeper Coey Turipa moving to Miramar. Nelson is a great breeding ground for players, many of which would be capable of playing NZFC level but being stuck in Nelson doesn't help.
Nelson suburbs for NZFC!
[/QUOTE] Agreed there have been some great players come from Nelson and Saxton Field is great set-up.
Unfortunately I can't see it in the near future.
