Lewes arent just some county team. Lewes, Bognor and Peachaven are all Ryman Prem and all have players of great experiance or players who have been released from ex pro clubs at a young age. Non are mugs. The level of players we currently have are not that of a great standard however I would imagine they would be disapointed it is no shame in losing to Ryman prem teams. One league below conference south and a great step above county league these days.

Interesting comments from the Ireland U-21 coach Noel King when the squad was announced - King announces U21 squad for USA & Russia games
I was under the impression that Rea was very definitely a central defender. Has anyone seen him play further forward in the DS games?

This is another aspect of the development squad - players aren't tied to and judged on playing in one position.
Rohan Ince, for example, was brought in as a central defender. He was moved to midfield, and looked what happened next. And that's not to say he can't be utilised elsewhere in the first team from here on in.
Players at that age aren't necessarily defined or pigeon-holed by the position someone has once decided they will play. The key is to develop the player, not specifically a 'central defender' or a 'central midfielder'.

I personally owe Simon Ireland an eternal debt of gratitude for that one. I left it far too late to get a ticket for the Donny match as I was working away in Reading at the time. As a extra large slice of luck would have it though, I was working alongside Simon's dad 'Big Mal'. Happened to moan in passing that I was gutted I was going to miss the last ever Goldstone game and he just piped up not to worry about it, his lad was on loan to Donny and he'd get him to leave me two tickets on the gate.
I tell's thee, it's the nearest I've ever come to kissing a 20 stone bloke in an office environment!
As good as his word, the tickets were there waiting for me in the ticket office. So me and a mate watched the first half of the match in the Donny end before having a quiet word with a friendly steward and being escorted round to the North Stand at half-time. The rest, as they say, is history.
I wrote Simon Ireland a letter of profuse thanks c/o Donny the following day. Not sure if he ever got it. Hope he did. Only recently realised that our Simon Ireland is the same Simon Ireland. Maybe I'll write him another. Or better still shake his hand in person and buy him a beer. So if anyone can put us in touch...
Massive cheers to the Albion Christmas Wish team for making this happen today!
