I am not sure if i have missed anything regarding Billy since this post,but note he has not been involved with the senior friendly games i have attended.

Is he still with the club?

[Uncle Urchin]

billy drake will not be returning to the club cantos....we have been told now on four occasions that he was turning up for training but he never did....

 

you can't run a football club like that and we move on...

I do hope he doesn't let that talent go to waste, he's a wonderful little player who could go places if given an opportunity.

[Mitchurchin]

Shame indeed, he was always good for a 50/50 or even a 90/10 challenge on anyone bigger than him.. which was most players. he will be missed

we offered that opportunity and he verbally accepted it and made arrangements four times to join the pre-season training...even Paul Marler telephoned us and said that drakie would attend the next session....never showed and none more disappointed than bridie and me but you can only tell a camel where the water is..

let us all hope that he progresses in his career wherever he goes...

No ambition.
