Not long ago, the 2024/25 season also began in the youth Eon NextGen league, in which Tabor no longer participates. The Sežana team returned to the top youth teams in the country last year after a long time, initially achieving some surprising results, but significantly weakened in the spring and were relegated. The fans were not thrilled about the immediate return to the second league, but Tabor’s president Davor Škerjanc says that, truth be told, this was actually the best possible scenario for the Sežana club.
“Classically speaking, last season was unsuccessful in terms of results. For various reasons. Some players were simultaneously helping the senior team, and I believe that if their focus had been on the youth team, they would have stayed in the league. We didn’t want to sacrifice their development just to stay in the league, especially considering what’s coming after them. The cadets aren’t mature enough yet to play in the first youth league, so perhaps the second league is more suitable for their development. The youth league is at a very high level, where one must already behave very professionally. We don’t want to sacrifice player development for the sake of results,” the head of the club from the border town, Davor Škerjanc, recently told Primorske novice.
Tabor has already played its first match after returning to the 2. SML West, and it was last weekend when they visited Kranj to face Triglav. The match ended in a 1:1 draw, with both goals scored from penalties. Dino Kazić was accurate for the home team, while Noah Fernetti secured a point for the visitors in the 91st minute.
