    Think the way foyle do it and wait until the young players mature is right,they seam to move there players up once they either Finnish or about to Finnish the juniors.Stewart donnell in last year with juniors,j p fahy playing well at min and maybe ready for a call up.The 2 young austins,ryan nixon and the nutts players for the future.If you look at the players on the foyle team now,holdon two brittons,kyle lynch Kincaid have all came through the juniors.Good luck on Saturday.

    A great effort today by the Foyle juniors only missing out on a place in the final by 2 shots and then securing third place with a convincing win, some great talent on show the future looks good, too many to mention, all stars, credit to yourselves and Peter

    I went to Ardboe yesterday. Great advert for the game. Some real quality bowls played by all the teams. Well done to Peter and the team for getting the boys to where they are seniors watch your backs. High light of the day for me, young Andrew Austin's? rink. Beat in the first game well but in the second game won by 30-4 played his last bowl to move the jack and pick up 5 shots to get his 30 shots. Well done all the young lads and lassie.

    The future's bright the future's yellow

    well done to peter and the foyle juniors for getting there; I enjoyed playing the last three years and thought that we would win it this year but if they keep trying then they will get their reward and eventually bring the cup home.

    Well done

    p.s. who beat us and who won it?

    Oriel won it easily enough. Think that was their 2nd year in a row they won it and 5th time in total

    With the greatest respect, posts regarding the North West League should be placed in the Limavady Bowls Forum. That is the place where any greviances should be aired and not on the Foyle blog.
