Well crap. Hungary 106 Wales 59. Ugh.
That one kinda hurt, even tho' it was expected... at least to a degree. I gave a few guys a few more minutes than they had previously received, a few less minutes for some of the key guys.
But even tho' it wasn't pleasant, and I definitely didn't enjoy it... I can't say I am really disappointed or surprised. They're a damn good team, and we are focused on other games ahead. Other games that start this coming week.

But anyway: the Magyarország game. Of course Hutton/Hanson did relatively well, and Matty Williams was - as always - solid. But I was happy with Mickey Marshall, Jordan Whittal and Edmyg Davies too. Marshall/Whittal are 20, and Davies is 19. Bodes nicely for the future.
Game ball goes to Mickey Marshall.

In other games in our pool:
* Belgium U21 75, Schweiz U21 82
* Slovensko U21 78, Crna Gora U21 57
* Latvija U21 89, Malta U21 52

A slower week for pops, but it's good to see the improvements in GS. No-one below respectable now, and only 3 guys on that... but Quinlan will possibly miss the next game due to injury.

Our crop of 18yo's I'm watching:
Those players are:
Robert Bradley
Paul Burridge
Mark Deane
Jaime Shiells
Amren Stephens
I plan on adding some (perhaps 2 spots?) of those to the squad over the next month. I'll be BBmailing their owners to get updates on them (please feel free to jump the gun on me and BBmail me weekly updates yourself!!!). If you see other guys, or if new teams join Cymru - lemme know!

Gotta say guys, I'm enjoying this. Thank you for welcoming me into your community!

It's worth keeping a couple of the 18 yo's on your roster id you can - at least if the owners go bot they will end up on the transfer list.
