Quote from: Truth hurts on April 22, 2024, 09:24:06 AMShould clubs who routinely choose not to field at reserve level face harsher penalties? Every year, the same crap happens.
In a nutshell, no.
The most sure fire method we could every conceive of to reduce adult player numbers, and to place a giant wall between juvenile and adult playing days, is to make the cost of fielding reserve football teams prohibitive.
That said, development leagues - like reserve football, minor b teams, under 14b teams etc - have no need to be played on an all county basis.
