  Grainge, its not that easy especially in the younger up to u16s age groups as it is illegal to print names under the child protection act.
  So basically reports would just be we were poor or played well and the score.
  In the past we have done well on tours abroad but unable to report other than the team did well in wherever frustrating but that's how it is.
  Youth scouts used to be able to print off team sheets from the leagues records that were available on line, now they are not and any contact must be with the managers of the teams permission to attend the games asked for before kick off ideally at least the day before and also no contacts with the parents before the manager gives their permission.
   A lot of the managers of the best players don't want to lose them and don't give permission it's  not easy and getting harder.
  Most of the big clubs only watch academy players like ours and do no grasss roots, as they can let teams like us do the ground work another reason why smaller clubs are not that forth coming with information.
