YOUTH INITIATIVE RESTRUCTURING

Due to financial restructuring of our youth initiative, the full time position of head of youth development has been made redundant.

Les Gray, vice chairman and the Director of Youth Development, who has been responsible for the setting up of the Youth Initiative, will have a much more hands on role until the restructuring is complete.

The club would like to thank John Bean (above) for his effort and commitment over the last 4 seasons, during which time he has made a valuable contribution and we wish him well in the future.

15 YEAR OLD JAMES McCARTHY MAKES 1st TEAM DEBUT


Young James McCarthy made his Accies 1st team debut in the 1-1 draw with Queen of the South on Saturday 30th September 2006 at New Douglas Park.  James, at the tender age of 15 years became the youngest Accies Youth Player  to turn out for the 1st team in a competitive match, again proving that Accies will always give youth a chance.

Quote from: "http://www.acciesfc.co.uk"
"Young James was remarkably wearing a shirt with his age on it; he's just 15. As it turned out, he gave a performance that belied his tender years and was not afraid to put in some solid tackles. He also showed that he has a good football brain and played some neat passes too."

Well done James, this gives encouragement to every youth player at the club who will want to follow in your footsteps.

UNDER 16's JOIN INITIATIVE LEAGUE


Whilst our large under 17's squad (which is a dual age band, covering under 16's and under 17's) will continue to compete in the Performance League, our under 16's (players in their 1st year at under 17's) will now compete in the Initiative League, taking the place of Berwick Rangers who withdrew last week. We will play Arbroath, Raith Rovers, Queen's Park and one or two others, where dates and fixtures allow. This will enable all our players at this level to get 'competitive' games.
