Well Done Lads

8 players in the squad, that must be a record. Well done to all players and coaches.

President

I am sure that some old Midi coaches have had teams with more than this in the squad

Any examples out there

there was 15 or so of us in the Lanarkshire U15 squad in 1997!












admittedly, there were 10 or so hamilton players and 1 EK boy and it was the first squad at that level!

Details names lists who had the most where are they now

can't remember who was all in it, Lovey, Burger, Adams and myself were in it i think. We only played a couple of games as warm up before Glasgow Heineken cup games at Scotstoun. As i said, it was the first squad at that level for lanarkshire and as such it really was just "picked" from Dalziel and Hamilton.

did my age group not get more than 8 in the lanarkshire team stevie?
me, john, calum, anton,goodie,kyle,big dave,robert,stevie,kris

simmo, strain, harris, dak, kieron begley, ainsy, porter, hunter, cummings? fergie? and me is 11! would have been 2002? :-S

Ross/John/Stevie,
Have provided the following not because of numbers, (although interesting) but more on the basis of advocating involvement in District representation and Thistles / Perpignan development opportunities.

Digging out some old stuff and to the best of my memory, I think the following is as best a guide I could get: NB Bold equals still playing, underlined equals Perpignan or Thistles selectees. I hope I’ve not missed anyone out …please let me know if I have and I’ll correct any mistakes.

Lanarkshire Lions:
Harris, Goodman, McGarrity, Mitchell, Donnachie, Watters, Miller, Price, Mullen, Smith Mark, Smith Gav, McLelland, Maxwell, Kennedy.

Of these the following went on to become;

Chiefs:
Harris, Goodman, McGarrity, Mitchell, Donnachie, Watters, Price, Mullen, Smith Gav, McLelland, Maxwell.

Of these 4 were selected to play for the firsts at the tender age of 16/17!

From this age group some were unlucky not to be selected for district, but are still playing:
Lee McWhinnie, Scott Murphy, Robert Johnstone, Fraser McGlashan, Davie Stewart, Darren Hay, Chris Howieson?

Lanarkshire Lions:
Harris, Strain (Hawks), Simmonds, Goldie, Aitken, Ainsworth, Begley, Cummings (Biggar?), McCartin, Carling, Hunter, Porter, Ferguson, Gilchrist.

Of these the following went on to become;

Chiefs:
Harris, Strain, Simmonds, Goldie, Aitken, Ainsworth, Gilchrist, McCartin, Carling, Begley, Porter, Hunter

Still playing from this age group:
Mekel, Gilchrist

On the evidence of the Festival Dalziel have got some more excellent talent coming through and similarly getting the opportunity to further develop their skills in district /Perpignan selection....well done.

Oops bold and underline hasn't worked.....never mind...
