Hopefully meaning that either we have another CB incoming, or we are confident that Sam will be playing soon. Or Hopefully both.

Indeed; especially as the scoreline and twitter feed about Tivvy's defending might suggest the opposite! Looking forward to write ups for those Exewebbers who follow Tivvy when ECFC away/not playing.

When is/was Ed's 18th birthday? Its a real challenge being a central defender at this level when you're still eligible for U18 football.IIRC Alfie Pond had a bit of a difficult time when first attempting the same, and was worth half a million quid a few months later.

Time for his wiki and soccer base entries to be updated...wiki doesn't yet have his league debut mentioned.

I can’t find his birth date anywhere but I’m guessing he is one of the younger 2nd year scholars because two seasons ago he was selected for a Wales under 15’s training camp alongside Alfie Cunningham who has played for Wales under 17’s this season.

According to GC you really can't call yourself one until you've had your nose broken at least once!

thanks. IIRC international age groups run from January-December rather than September-August which would mean he was still under 18 as of 1 January (is that right?)

I think the age groups for youth football in this country is set from from the start of the season [August 1st] and international football, as you say, 1st January.

thanks - the youth football age group may well explain some puzzlement I'd had about which year Archie Collins was in (birthday 31 August).
