What size?

Like I mentioned earlier, mini pitches are no use as once kids get to 11 they play on full size

And I can't see no youth clubs splitting the set up to play there

Going by the performance of the Leeds lot, it isn't. They were very poor and apart from their FB offered little threat.

Great result well done FC lads

How does HTW look to be progressing?

Good in spells but needs to learn to manage a game better. Gave a couple of wild balls out tonight when simple play would have been the better option. Great passing range and very good left boot.

Looked a lot better tonight than he did Saturday which was helped by having Abdull around him.

Looks to have lost a slight bit of pace but to me he seems to be carrying or have had a knee ligament injury.

Yeah, he was outstanding to set up the try for Abdull late in the 2nd half, but then threw the ball straight in to touch trying to bullet one out to the winger the next set. Also kicked a 40/20 against the wind, but kicked one out on the full under no pressure.

His core skills are absolutely outstanding for a kid his age in his position, got to remember he was still 2 years younger than the Leeds lads he played against tonight.

One of the best I've ever seen at that age, reminds me of Thurston with his scrum cap and the way he moves and runs.*











*Disclaimer - In no way am I comparing him as a player to Jonathan Thurston, just his look as a player, not in terms of ability.

I have not seen the actual sizes but I know there will be no more than 4 (possibly 3) mini pitches. Don't forget the bit of land at the front of Brooklands was left alone by Barratts as a token gesture and iirc there is a covenant on the land that it has to be used for sports. Barratts got around that by leaving a very small section of it where only mini pitches would fit. I think people are thinking it is the whole of Brooklands that is to be for sports but its a very small bit at the front and even that is cut into by Dove House at the side of their shop and the back.

Would have said Turgut was ahead of BTW tbh and should have had a hat trick. Has great feet runs great lines and can tackle all day long.

And for me as well,pace,power and size.
He certainly looks like he could be special.

A certain Mr Hetherington seemed to appreciate one of his trys,with a round of applause.

Leeds weren't very good at all, to me there stand out was number 10. Was he the one who kicked out in the tackle and caused a little trouble?

Thought that was Walters after he got put on his arris by Hulls sub Johnson,but I may be wrong.

This was one of the original plans at Brooklands, dont know if there are anymore updated ones

They have added more houses since that plan, it went from about 89 to 150 something. Also the bottom footpath on the left hand side is now an access road. The car park (off the top of my head) is for about 20 odd cars, not nearly enough if all 4 pitches are in use for example a tournament. I know Sport England got involved at one point because of the covenant.

That was their number 12, didn't like being sat down at all!
