So a after a disappointing 9th place finish last year we start a new of era for the U20s with a new coach and a lot of new players. Since the OS hasn't updated the profiles it's hard to know who has stayed and who has moved on. So there are probably mistakes but what can you do when you can't get much information, so its a guessing game. Some of the guys listed could be on trial and thus might not make the squad for the season. There are of course locals who are training with squad who I haven't named because I'm not 100% sure if they are in SG Ball or NYC.

Scratch Alex Clark-Kennedy from the new players he's apparently gone back to QLD to play.

Article from the OS about Anthony Seibold and Marc Brentnall. Hopefully profile updates or a squad list aren't far behind.

That's good news Sallymay. I am a big fan of Jarome. It is good to see Billy training there too. It is good to see the relationship with Easts starting to pay off with these two training at Easts and a couple of Easts boys in our Under 20s in 2013.
