the players weren't poached, they found a good opportunity to develop their skills.

6 players in one season to a neighboring town = poached.

Not Hillbillys , Good old boy's !!! Let the kids that want to leave leave . You'll be better off !!! I want te kids that want to be there , not think they are too good for the team .. They all learn sooner or later !!

If you have learned to play the game properly and developed your skills you can adapt to new players pretty quickly. I have played with well over 10 different teams in my life and we managed somehow.

You good old boy's keep kickin the pumpkin around it will make you're legs stronger. Since you don't have game anymore you might as well be stronger.

the correct answer would be 2 left last year and 3 over the winter, and poaching would require the coach to recruit the players which is different from players deciding to join a team. On the positive side, the "west" lindenhurst players remaining now have more playing time and consequently should improve at a faster pace and, since they are also in a lower division than in the fall, have less pressure and more fun playing. Kids want to play not sit on the bench. That's my half full version of events.
