UPDATE ON UNDER 13S .

Adam Milton , Jordan Sterling and Captain Josh Godall have decided to leave the team , We have also lost Simon Milton and David Goodall as coaches. We wish Adam < Josh and Jordan all the best with their new clubs.

This means we have lost 9 of last years squad to other clubs in the last few weeks . Unfortunately I have had to cancel saturdays friendly at Allen Park as we would be unable to field a team .

As league is only a couple of weeks away I think we are in no position to enter a team in the competition . We will decide in the next week whether to enter or withdraw from the league.

Training last night with Pascal /Janine

Firstly ,the positives:

Many thanks to the boys that made the effort to come to the session last night with Pascal/Janine -- your efforts on the night were first class. Indeed your performance in the game at the end of the session against the Under 13s was probably the best I have seen from a Templepatrick Squad in the last 3 years . I think we should bring Pascal to every game to watch!! Well done -- David, Robert , James , Thomas and Christopher.

Secondly the Negatives: -- We had only 5 players in the squad of 17 turn up for a session with the IFA County coach -- an opportunity to show your talents off at your own club rather than at a trial with 50 other kids . To say I was disappointed with the turnout would be an understatement , I know some of the squad were away on school trips but surely we could of had more players turn up or at least let us know they were not turning up . Pascal travelled all the way from Derry with his goalkeeping coach to be at the session and I am sure he was not impressed with the turnout.

TRAINING 15th MAY 08:

Can all players bring your all your kit to training next week (Red kit , Training Kit , Track suit and rain top) .

Training next week is at Templepatrick Primary School next Thursday 6.30-8.00. Ballymena Tournament starts on Saturday 17th-- more info later .
