Forgot to sign your name Captain Obvious. Private schools that funnel kids from the two top clubs and also pull from the entire island can beat town teams, very impressive observation.

In theory, you are correct. Teams that recruit, especially perennial all star quality teams that attract all the best players on LI, year after year after year…should be better than town teams who have to play with what they got. Throw in the holdback factor and it’s very obvious, such teams should be in their own league, right? Having said all that, I’m confident that there are a half dozen town teams on the island that can compete with them, town team flaws and all. There are some town teams that absolutely have equal talent to these teams, with one exception: OD of St A’s. Kid is insane.
