Ursene Mouanda played in a couple of pre season games - Holding midfielder and looked decent - joined from County Durham Boys Club New Hartley Juniors. Amin Abaradan Bouzaig also played pre-season - a winger, did okay without excelling Serge Atakayi was in the squad that played in South Africa - I believe he is a winger Myles Beerman played in a game at Ibrox at the end of last season as a winger (not full-back) - showed some good skills.

Roundup of today's youth games https://rfcyouths.wordpress.com/2016/08/14/youth-round-up-13/

SPL "Colt" teams cannot field any overage players in The Challenge Cup. Up to FIVE overage players can be fielded in the Development League matches.

They would have to still be 19 on 31st December this year. Liam was 20 in January - Scott was 20 in March - Tom was 20 in July - Ryan Sinnamon was also 20 in July. All now too old for Under 20's.

We can only play Under 20 players in the Challenge Cup, Hardie and Thompson are on Development loans so can play Under 20 games. Roberts, Walsh and Kelly are all now Under 21 players, therefore can't play in the Challenge Cup and can't play in the Development League while out on loan.

There are a few players in that group that could progress, you would have to bear in mind the quality of opponents last night. This is a young Under 20 side, I've already stated a few times we only have two under 20 players on the books, both played last night but as they are at other clubs on loan they may not feature too much. The starting lineup was made up of those two U20's, four 19's, three 18's and two 17's. with the bench made up of three 19's, three 18's and a 17. Rangers use of over age players in the league will be minimal, some games they could face the max of six overage players in the opposition. It will be a good test for them and I'm looking forward to see how they cope and if the can progress.

Dapo only turns 15 at the end of this month, He will play mainly U16's games this season but should push into the reckoning for the 17's too.

Dapo was unplayable yesterday, the Sunderland boys couldn't cope with him, I'm sure they were delighted to see him substituted. His two goals today were exceptional. His younger brother - Dire Mebude is in the U13's squad.

Report on today's 16's game against Sunderland https://rfcyouths.wordpress.com/2016/07/20/16s-beat-sunderland/

Played in the first 20's game against Airdrie

He came in quite late from boys club football (Jimmy Johnstone Academy) and he was decent enough and certainly justified being part of last season's U17's. Moving into U20's this season i wouldn't disagree with the decision to release him, pleased to see him get a contract at Annan and like any player we release I would like to see him do well.
