Must be different around here then, I'd get at least one scout at every school tournament I'd organise.
We're not talking this level anyway we're talking semi-pro at least if you're saying these lads are good enough for the prem. Teams like chasetown, FC united, marine - they're the teams young players should be having trials at and if they're good enough make the step up from there. 2 lads went from chasetown to port vale a few years back - if they had been food enough then they were on the right platform then to press on.
