    go through teams playing in your local leagues - anyone with kids playing at home would be a good starting point.

    try your local paper, put in a note in the sports pages.

    Can't believe the youth teams have died in Wexford, used to be the strongest in the country when I was playing. The two years I qualified for the team for the All Ireland's I was unable to travel and they won them both. There was some great competition back then, with about 7-8 regulars at every competition and then a good few that would turn up every now and again, I can't believe it's 10 years since then :eek:

    60-65 is good for a 14 year old - training with others will improve your game.
