The point of him playing is ?
2015 National Youth League
So question -
How many of our highly rated NZ U20 team have been playing Youth league as they cannot make a senior squad?
From the Wanderers squad who are playing Youth League this season: Regont Murati (ACFC), Judd Baker (Waitakere), Noah Billingsley (Waitakere) and Gowan Stares (TW). The rest of them are in senior squads except for Elijah Neblett and Hudson's favourite, Moses Dyer, who couldn't get a gig in summer football. The only one who seemed to have a future from all of them was Billingsley.
Think the only reason Billingsley is in the Youth squad and not the senior squad is that he's off to the states on a scholarship
Er, that means he would be off in about June or July 2016.

I think that the reason he is playing for WaiBOP cause he by far their best attacking threat. Seemed like everything went through him against Southern. Got the impression that he will be involved in the the prem squad from next week judging from him playing in their preseasons

Sorry my mistake, was referring to Evans playing for youth.
Marc just wanted to see a bit of the country.
Watched a very entertaining ASBYouthLeague match between the WeeWeeNix and the TEENYwaiBOPPERS at Dave Farrington yesterday. 4-1 to the WeeWeeNix.
Some really good skillful play.

Think you mean Team Wellington
WeeWeeNix went down 1-0 to Nelson at Wakefield this morning (Nelson should have won by a lot more)

A lot of goals in Canterbury United Youth's last three games (16 in total) - they score a lot and concede a lot.
9 for and 7 against in their last three games:
Last weekend: 3-4 away win vs. Hawkes Bay
8/11: 2-3 home loss to Auckland City
31/10: 1-3 away win vs. Wairarapa
Sharing the goals around too amongst several different scorers with Ryan Stanley (noticeable by his ginger mane) on 3, Aiden Barbour-Ryan on 2, Renta Yamamoto on 2 and for players on one goal each.

ASB YOUTH LEAGUE
FULL TIME | Hawke's Bay United FC 3 - 4 Canterbury United Dragons
A match full of goals and last minute drama at Petane Domain today. Three first half from Fane MORGAN could not stop Canterbury United Dragons from stealing the game with a last minute header.
Goals from Ryan STANLEY, Renta YAMAMOTO, Aiden BARBOUR-RYAN and Fraser ANGUS
Good win boys!

TOP SCORERS
I'm not familiar with any of the young lads scoring the most goals in the Youth League.
What grabs my attention is that three of the top five scorers play for Southern United (18 goals in 6 matches between the three of them).
Is the Youth League's top-scorer Ben Kiore of Southern United a real prospect?
Who is this Greek lad Gianni Bouzoukis scoring lots in the Youth League for Phoenix Youth?
How do people rate the others in the top ten below?

My be going for spring season (I don't know this).
Canterbury United 5 Southern United 0
Auckland City 7 Team Wellington 0
Waitakere United 1 Auckland United 1
Waitakere on top with 19 points, followed by Team Wellington (18), Canterbury United (17) and Auckland City, Southern and WaiBOP (16). Canty faces WaiBOP tomorrow.
This league is so tight this year.
What's with Auckland City? Win three games by seven goals yet are only just clawing their way into the title race with two weeks to go.
Top seven separated by four or five points.
What was Wai-Bop v Canterbury score?
What was Wai-Bop v Canterbury score?
2 - 3 in favour of Canterbury. WaiBOP made it 2 - 2 in the 4th minute of added time with Canterbury then scoring the winner a minute later.

Talk about close - 5 points separating the top 7!!! have been trying to guess what will happen but no idea really, winner will be one of the current top 4
Wellington derby Team Wellington v Weewee nix on Wednesday at Newtown Park 6pm kick off - almost like the old National League derbies between Miramar & Wellington United
Big shame that that this league will only have 10 teams next year although 3 of those that are more likely to disappear are in the bottom part of the table (Manawatu United, Auckland United & Heartland Wairarapa)
Team Wellington won the Wellington derby on Wednesday night beating the Weeweenix 5-0 - the Weeweenix did score a spectacular diving header - unfortunately in their own goal
Congratulations to Team Wellington on wrapping up the league after defeating Canterbury United 2 - 1. Earlier in the day Soutern United defeated Waitakere 5 - 4 to end Waitakere's unbeaten run and title hopes.
