whach out you U15's Chambers is comming to get you. Start engraving the trophy

nick's is the title. he's won at stortford before as 3/4 seed, and he shall win again. and the next year.

Hopcroft has no chance,he cant beat CS anymore ! Anyway Earles to win !!!

Looks like JPS was right Earles to win and Hopcroft no chance....remember though he still has another year but then so does Earles !

Was there a plate event ? If so does anyone know where we can see the results ???

Neither earles nor hopcroft will win next year - odd?

Well whose going to come up and take it?

young juniors such as....
adam auckland,david wardle and oliver holland

I think Tom Ford could be a great player - A young Tom Pashley, perhaps better.

yes i suppose tom is a good youngster but he is not good enough to compete with the likes of david, adam and oliver.

not strong enough until he grows

Ah but that's the point isn't it, he WILL grow and therfore improve automatically in the long run. It doesn't really matter who is the best at U13 U15 etc as sometimes a kid will be the best because he is so big and strong and not always because he is the best player.

It is much better to be good and small rather than good and big as a young junior as you have to learn to play with guile.

Watch out for anyone who is coming through, like Tom and others I can think of, who is SMALL and good even if they lose to big strong kids.

well ollie is not exactly big and strong at da mo and he is better than tom ford so he is a better prospect

Looks like its going to be Waller or Wardle. Both are getting stronger and progressing at quicker rates than the others possibles

I agree that Waller and Wardle are going great.
Others to really watch Phillip Bull.He got a game off Waller in the closed and is improving.
Also Ollie Holland is streets ahead for his age

Phil Bull is U17, but definately very talented.

Ollie has yet to make the transition from a top U13 to a top U15 game, but his time will come in U15, but not until 2009.

as you started the forum sammy i think you mean u17. I think you will do really well this year and win the u17 closed title next year easily. Your improvment in the last few months has been nothing more than fantastic.All the talk on this forum has never mention you but after the end of june next year i dont see anybody getting anywhere near you in the u17's. What do others think.

Dont forget that James Earles is still only 13 so will still be in U15 next year!!

2007 yes, but not 2008

U15 in 2008 has Ollie Holland written all over it.
U13 a young lad from the north called Hamish Falconer .

No, David Wardel will walk it in 2008. Ollie doesn't get near him. 2009 is Ollie's year

You're quite right I forgot about that pesky Wardle.. I always think he is older than he is...he will win it.
Any thoughts on the U13's ?

U13 Boys is much more difficult for next year as I have yet to see any obviously outstanding talent.

I would look at possibly Josh Masters (as Kent appear to have a number of the better younger players who will have been progressing together) and Brian Harvey who appears to be keen.

In fact the U13 Girls looks to have more potential talent with some very energetic younger players starting to get involved.

The U13 boys is interesting and I agree Josh Masters is going to be hard to beat.
Brian Harvey will be ok but the one to watch along with Josh is Hamish Falconer who is doing really well. He beat Brian easily at Pontefract and he is younger than Masters and Harvey.

alex noakes is a very good player and i think he is still 10
