Aside from the old Kellyville Bushrangers which Metro Cup/JBC teams has Parramatta had an official feeder arrangement with?
Considering there are now 4 JBC sides in the Parramatta District they're spoilt for choice...
as it stands..it appears that Seven Hills will be a feeder club this year, however I was chatting to an official at the AGM late last year about the 2008 season and assuming the national under 20's competition gets off the ground the Jim beam cup will effectively become a second tier state league and was telling me the dillema Parramatta faces by having to choose 1 of 4 clubs with the risk of getting off side with 3 of them.
* Mounties are a sleave sponsor and worth a great deal of money to the club.
* Seven Hills has effectively been using Parra players in the past.
* A large chunk of juniors do come from both Cabramatta and Ball, Mathews and sometimes Flegg and prems have been using Cabra sports ground as a home ground.
* Wentworthville, location wise is probably the best place however Historically the relationship between both clubs are somewhat strained.
It's a tough situation for the club who are trying to avoid conflict which could lead to loss of sponsership and Juniors with the clubs who feel that they may be snubbed.
If i was a betting man I would say that Mounties will be the one go to bed with Parra on this partnership.
