 SFA Midseason youth update

For many seasons the youth in the SFA has been dominated by two teams Inter Retirement and Jakswans but has their dominance come to an end....

U21s

Starting with the U21s which was a 3 horse race last season and eventually won by Jakswans we can see two teams starting to open a lead in points Unathletic Madrid and Racing Tofflicence but this is only due to the fact they have played more games. According to the lastest points predictions both of these teams will be overhauled by Inter Retirement, Amogen Athletic, Jakswans, Real Darlington and surprise package Mighty Boosh in what promises to be the most exciting finish to the U21s ever. Whatever happens there will be some very interesting matches to come over the next week.

U20s

New for this season we have the U20s which at the moment is dominated by the Mighty Boosh who have won all 7 of their games so far. Inter Retirement look to be on form to challenge the Mighty Boosh whilst Jakswans are not far off and in with an outside chance.

U19s

Currently Racing Tofflicence are leading the U19s but they are likely to be pushed all the way by Inter Retirement, Atletico Sheppey and Mighty Boosh FC. Again this looks like it could go all the way and any 1 from the 4 mentioned could take the title, there are even another 2 teams with an outside chance of competing.

U18s

The Mighty Boosh look to be running away with the U18s this season and it looks like only 1 other team may be able to stop them the amusingly named Fat Kids Always Win at Seasaw.

U17s

This looks like a possible 3 horse race between current leaders Unathletic Madrid, Inter Retirement and Macduff FC with possible outside challenges from Mighty Boosh and Wrexham Tigers.

Last time I checked the SFA had 3 teams in the world top 10 youth sides and 5 in the top 25 so the youth side of things in the SFA is thriving, why not join in if you haven't already?

Finally an update on how the youth teams did in the UFFA gold cup this season. Inter Retirement and Jakswans were drawn in the same group this season and whilst Jak managed to qualify in 2nd place Nick wasn't so lucky and wasn't able to progress to the next round. Jakswans were then drawn against the current world no 1 youth team FC Bozzy in the next round and while they battled bravely went down in the end 2-1 away from home, an admirable performance. The 3rd team Unathletic Madrid were able to qualify top of their group and were drawn at home to Real Upminster in the next round and were cruely defeated 2-1 after the game was force started whilst away from the keyboard and the team picked for the match were all out of position red dots.
