    The 1st of July 2012, may go down as an important day in the history of Irish football...

    Two years ago, to the date. A number of budding football coaches gathered together to discuss the idea of gathering some of the most talented players in Ireland, who had slipped through the the scouting net's of some of England's top clubs as well as that of many League of Ireland sides.

    The scouting was carried out by these coaches over an 18 month period, after this period the plan was to select a panel of the best players and bring them to England to play a number of England's top academies. But this endeavor would need funding, after many unsuccessful attempts to secure financial support and the future of project in doubt...A savior was found...Boards.ie

    So with a panel assembled, the group travailed to London for a 3 game schedule. Many of these games, were to be attending by some of the top scouts in English football. A 30 man panel was selected for the trip to Engalnd, with all 30 players getting game time in front of the scouts over the three games, most of the players really shune and were looked at further by many of the clubs.

    Of the 30 man panel, 26 where signed by clubs, the remaining 4 players have been left without a club, but as they are still so young their dreams of making it as a professional footballer certainly aren’t over.
