Cruyff Turn Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 (edited) Fantastic stuff. Remember the 'milk cup' being the big tourney at this age, sure we got to the finals of that once. The foyle cup is quite a prestigious tournament. Very good achievement to reach the semis. Edited July 20, 2018 by Cruyff Turn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debut 4 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Hate to be negative but it means nothing really. Hearts have always done well in these tourneys as far back as I can remember. Silverware still rare as it shouldn’t be at first team level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There certainly used to be, think we've won it a couple of times and reached the finals at different age groups a few times, beaten by Giggs, Neville, Butt & Scholesys lot in 91 v Man Utd, beaten by Racing Club of Argentina, we beat Russia in the final once!

davie1980 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 "Made up of mostly 2003s, as well as some 2004s and a 2005, the U16s have faced older opponents in the 2002 age bracket." We always seem to be pushing young laddies on ahead of their age groups, nice to see we have the faith and that it still brings success. A 3 year age gap is a fair gulf at that level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 3 year age gap is a fair gulf at that level They should have the ability to make up at least a year against what are mainly boys clubs in the Foyle Cup. It would be like Hearts U15s taking on Tynecastle U16s. Those sort of friendly matches are sometimes played at Riccarton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a name I've come across before. That could be because of his age. I start watching the games from U11 up, but only begin to recognise the kids by name or face a year or two later, and even then it's the more talented kids that you tend to focus on. I have a list of players up to the 2008s from last season, but Leo isn't among them either as a 2008 or a 2007. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only one I know about is Reece Hope (the blond haired lad in the photos) who I think is at Broughton HS. Hearts are in the process of encouraging their best youngsters to go to Balerno HS where Hearts have established their own performance school.

Tote Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 3 of those boys at the Balerno performance School. Mac Ramos, Jay Charleston-King and a young lad called Macauley. Jay being the pick of the squad being invoked in nearly every goal in the tournament either assist or scoring himself. Macualey was the youngest at the tournament I believe.

I don't post much, but, without doubt - my vote for best poster! (Do still have a big love for the more deranged poster though) I enjoy watching the younger age groups as the really talented kids tend to stand out beyond their peers. However once they show promise, they are normally pushed on a year so don't stand out as much. They still have that bit extra, but it is not as apparent playing against older opposition. Callum, at the moment, is one to watch, but being so young it's still a guessing game about his future. Over the years I've thought that a few lads would make it from seeing them as 12/13/14year olds. Some made it like Jamie Walker, and Jason Holt, some made it then crashed and burned like Craig Thomson. Others didn't quite make it like like Fraser Mullen and Stephen Husband. I still have one or two favorites at each age group but that is fairly typical for any squad. I think a couple of the older lads in that Foyle Cup squad have a chance, but no more than that at the moment. As has been pointed out by others Jay King stood out, as does Leon Watson. They are both a year away from getting a full time contracts, but this time next year I'd hope that they would get a chance to go full time along with the next crop.
