The standard of play is mixed as are the ages of players We are set ing today particularly the advent of much younger teams Their legs and lungs will test the older players even with experience and skill and Int contests are closer than before To be competitive players and teams need to be closer to ages and skills Fitness is also a factor Older players need to be in a state of full fitness to be able to remain with younger players Training for matches is an absolute and soon we may not see the less fit players who turn out week after week No more may a once a week appearance be sufficient for play in the Inter Countj It is difficult for players of over 25 years these days to live with the younger element no matter the sport or recreation Think about it or not as you may After the World Cup and all its hype and poor play and officiating leagues all over the globe are returning to their bread and but ter It will be interesting to see what the return of European com petition will mean for England and it two representatives in the com ing season Aston Villa and Manchester United havt been allowed to play and the fans will be on trial more than the teams The clubs are two of the oldest and most respected organizations in England and it seems thai most opponents coun try wished to see the English clubs readmitted Unfortunately the ban on Liverpool has been ex tended and the club has to wait a few more years before returning I have always felt that the ban on Liverpool without a corresponding judgement on Juventus as a result of the Heysel disaster was unfair to say little of the European soccer authorities part in the ticket allocations system leading to the problems at the famousinfamous cup finals The socalled behaviour of other countries fans has left a lot to be desired and for the most part teams have gone less punish ed than the English Hopefully the hooliganism and vandalism will vanish and we will be able to watch the game in peace This week is the week of the On Summer Games and soccer is part of the proceedings Quarter semi finals and finals of the boys and girls Cup will be held in Kitchener on Thursday to Sun day Teams from Oakville Burl and Clarkson represent our district Unfortunately the timing of the early games is p m and a little too early for participation Hopefully the weather will more cooperative for the games which cover the
