@TomJGarry Does anyone think any U21 academy sides will compete in tier 3? The other conundrum is fairness. So many brilliant self funded teams have fought for years to obtain step 3 league status.
Ronnie O’Sullivan received 5 Guinness World Record certificates today:
Highest break: 153
Most 147 breaks: 17
Most ranking titles: 41
Fastest 147 break: 5’08”
First player to make 1000 centuries
WHAT HAVE WE JUST WITNESSED? 🤯
Sabastian Sawe has just become the first person in history to run a sub two-hour marathon in race conditions.
Yomif Kejelcha was also under two hours for second!
@KathrynBatte The lack of senior game time affects us internationally. Spain, USA and North Korea well ahead.
Young lioness player selection is a large group of non playing 18/19 year olds or 16/17 year old academy players with no senior experience.
We need more Parkinson's and Sarwie's 👍🏼
@KathrynBatte Really interesting article as the numbers are quite damning.
Where to start?!
We have around 20 PGA teams at U21 level. Majority of players are 16/17 years old. Very few players exposed to Adult football in tiers 1-3 and very few get signed professionally.
@KathrynBatte Something needs to change to expose our young stars to senior football.
Also see many 18 yo pros going on loan and getting very little minutes in tier 2/3. A number now heading to Scandinavia and Scottish leagues.
