EDFL Div 1 Discussion 2024

[Vlodrive]

Carroll from Sunshine to St Albans.

Kicked 100 this season, but monstered the battlers.

By jingoes he’s had a few clubs!

He was almost going to return to his junior club of SK. I guess STA got in first. I hope he does well but there is some very good defenders in div 1 EDFL.

That's a standard line when a bloke is shopping himself around. Oh I won't sign because I'm not sure if I'll be playing ...

Roxy finals bound now

Really? So who plays finals?

McKernan signed on at Tulla today - news out on their socials!

Definitely big news and adds to the already strong recruitment that's happened over the last month or two.

The big question regarding McKernan - He's gonna be 35 and has basically had the last two years out of the game. The rest could prove to be a good thing or a bad thing. If he can re-capture his form from 2022 then he'll be a huge asset.

Overall the recruiting/retention of players at Tulla has been great with a good mix of youth and experience.

Bigger question is will Strathmore let him go?

Retention ? They’ve so far lost 14 players that played seniors this season, including 6 to Tulla’s favourite son’s new club Talbot.

Not quite. As far as I know there's only five heading to Talbot - Stephens, Sikora, Lang and Hind x 2.

Other than that, I only know of three other players who played seniors who are confirmed as not playing in 2025. I do suspect there may be one or two retirements though and those players who may be retiring didn't have much impact this year.

If you know of 14 players who have left then by all means name them but I don't think you could.

Also retention has been strong when you consider that the majority of younger players have all re-committed and so has the entire leadership group from last year. The three players who I regarded the best prospects for the future have all stayed on so that's what matters to me as a supporter.

I think the mix of youth and experience will be great for 2025.
