3 youngsters given squad numbers ahead of Torquay clash

[glass half full]

i think one of the lads i'm teaching next year at school is in the Reading academy u15, is there anywhere which has information about u15 players?

paedo

i'm enhanced CRB'd to the max m8

I suppose that it is a logistical problem but it would be good to have a brief list of Academy players and their respective playing positions.

Just out of interest does anyone know what happend to the lad McDonald who featured for England at Schoolboy level a couple of seasons back.?

Still at the club. He was out for a while with a bad blood clot, but is now back and playing. The injury put a halt on his progression to the first team etc imo.

Ah right , cheers. I just wondered as his name hasn't cropped up and I'm sure he was playing for the Ressies towards the end of last season.

Hopefully its just put his progression back for a while rather than permanently affected him.

Saw a fair bit of him in the Gym down here during the summer.

Seems RFC have told him to bulk up.

Could the apostrophe in D'Ath maybe stand for 'e', as in Death...?

Young Jack Mills is a defender, not sure of his ability though.

I reckon if he were up to first team duties or even anywhere near they'd have given him a squad number...

What you mean like No. 36?

ok but despite our lack of centre backs none of the young centre backs were taken on pre-season tour... if they were really ready to step up surely it would have made sense to get them along?

Doesn't happen to be 'Anotonio Grant' does it? Friend of Obita and current youth player and a really bright prospect i hear, may be a different age bracket though...

http://www.surnamedb.com/Surname/De%20Ath

Last name: De Ath
This interesting and unusual name has a number of possible origins. Firstly, it can be of early medieval English origin, and one of a sizeable group of modern surnames that were created from nicknames given to someone who played the part of a personified figure - in this case, the figure of Death - in a pageant or medieval mystery play. Other such names surviving today are King, Knight and Angel. The derivation of the modern surname 'Death' from this source is from the Middle English 'de(e)th', death, from the Old English pre 7th Century 'death'. Secondly, the surname may be a medieval metonymic occupational name for a gatherer or seller of kindling wood, tinder, derived from the Middle English 'dethe', fuel, tinder, from the Old English 'dyth'. Lastly, but unlikely to be the source for many modern bearers of the name, it may be of Belgian locational origin, with the fused preposition 'de', from 'Ath'. The name can be found as Death, Deeth, Dearth, D'Eath, D'Eathe, De'Ath and D'Aeth. The Coat of Arms most associated with the name is black, a gold griffin passant red armed between three silver crescents. The Crest is a griffin's gold head, holding in the beak a green trefoil. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Robert Deth, which was dated 1196, The Bedfordshire Pipe Rolls, during the reign of King Richard 1st, 'The Lionheart', 1189-1199.

Obita had maybe one touch of the ball, but that touch kept the ball alive for our goal so good on him

Well done for finding this. By the way, a very brief search finds the meaning of Pearce to be 'rock' ...

In terms of mobility I think that sounds about right TBH..
