Are the Arlesey Reserves actually ran as a reserve side or as a seperate team?

 

What I mean by that is, do the lads in the reserves step up to 1st and players is 1st team drop down (for fitness etc)?

It seem's they run as abit of a seperate side, as opposed to St Albans ressies who use it as more of a Youth/injured players returning side or Chesham reso's who use it as a bully side to boost first team morale. When in doubt they throw a spine in there to try smash a team to get them up for certain first team fixtures.

Understood.

Having played for reserve sides before it should always be a mix of youth and 1st team with the aim at developing youth ready for first team.

 

Arlesey Res seem to be whipping boys for the last few seasons and I can't see much youth development which is a shame because the facilities there are brilliant and deserve a successful youth development programme.

Yeah we wanted Christmas games but didn't get them. I know it's a killer, were in a semi final and quarter final too along with the representative side playing on Saturdays too could be another couple Saturday's missed there.

 

This fixture pile up without doubt is probably going to cost us our best shot at the league but we will give it our best efforts. Two Cups important for us especially the county cup.

 

Just the 23 league games left.
