U19 squad disbanded due to a lack of strength. Three players kept on to train with the first team:
Louie Murphy, Ciaran Taggart and Charlie McColl

Personally I'm fine with this. If we don't think we're strong enough for the league, and there's no realistic pathway to the first team (or sale) for the bulk of the players, there's no point in making up the numbers.
I do wonder how the three retained players will fare without competitive games, maybe there'll be a loan for them or something, but this feels like a good example of cutting losses.
