The Youth League Report (Division One Youth League) Round 3
There is no reason to be either excited or disappointed at this early stage as the teams are still settling into their stride. We will only be able to get a better picture of what is actually happening after another week or two.
It is interesting that there was a total of ninety-nine goals scored over the thirty matches played in this division this week and that means plenty of entertainment at each of the venues.
