Ideally clubs should do both.

From my knowledge Bann have been one of the best clubs in Ulster at developing their own players. (Perhaps Russ could tell us how many of the team which gained promotion to 1B are home grown?).

However to survive/prosper in 1A/1B, clubs also need to recruit players from outside in order to have squads of sufficient depth and quality.

Looks to be 95-100%
Split between people who came through the BB youth system, Banbridge Academy and the other local club

Rooster, in my opinion I agree with what your saying, but the further up your club go, the further you have to look sometimes. Although in saying that, I liked Malones idea that they used at end of the season, by having an in house game and having players that were moving up from u18s to senior level, play in amongst the senior players for this game, to give them a taster of adult rugby. In my opinion more clubs in Ulster should use this strategy as in regards to school leavers and youth leavers as it would integrate youth and schools players knowledge and skill set and also bring together the experience of the senior players into the mix and it might help youth and school players leaving their respective backgrounds want to keep playing after school or youth
Rainey are good at developing players but also very good at Ahem cough cough getting players to commit from Belfast no money changing hands mind you.

Lewis Stevenson at Bangor, the ego has landed, i wonder how he and Morgan will get on >6shooter

Surely there must be some more player news out there , especially as most clubs would have been training for a while now ?

Apparently Derek Sufferen is now at Quins as well ?
Heard that one Belfast Club can Cook the books by giving young players car insurance, away around Rule 6 kinda, okay it may be travel expenses but also an inducement
CI lost some of their new signings to Queens and Ballymena
Bangor , same captain new coach in town who thinks he is calling me he shots, I wonder how they are getting around paying two player coaches
Ards have Budge Poutney, a bit like getting Lewis Hamilton to drive a Skoda in Daytona
DOnaghadee, still full of crap
OMagh getting stronger
Quinns on the up

Willie Falloon head coach in Armagh, expect a mid table finish from a pretty young side in 2A, a few young lads who should progress to Ulster playing.
