Right so here we go , i know some are still on hols , some are still in the process of signing but as things stand in many parts of the rl heartlands the game for the youngsters is changing . this thread will run until the mini season ends and then of course will be replaced by a new one .
Please be aware that this thread above all is shown to youngsters , bare that in mind when trying to avoid swear filters ect and read the AUP.
Rugby League is a sport were we have a proud reputation of being able to mix with fans anywhere we go . we will not let this board go like it did last season into a near riot. that goes to all of us including me , you and them .

enjoy posting ...good luck to all your clubs , players , coaches in all ages and all groups and welcome to the new clubs that will be joining us (im sure rob will fill us all in soon) and i hope we get more game time this year.

i will be reading elsewhere this year so no mutley

but the other fellas will be around if you need any help

anyone know when fixtures are out

When does the mini-season start/finish?

not as yet



Sept to Nov



RR can you put this thread in the quick links

Just for you, snowman.

still on our hols over at cas panthers until monday then its back to the slog,we will also be taking a team over to belle vue next week for the curtain raiser although im not too sure what the team will look like has weve loads on holiday.

i took time out to go watch the year 7 cas high squad train on wednesday morning to see how they are gelling with the nucleus of the side made up from panthers and lock lane players,i tell you what this team will take some beating in the schools tournaments next year they have quality all over the pitch and it got me thinking how good a yorkshire side we could have from the year 7s if it was still happening, i reckon you could get 3-4 excellent sides from the talent at this age group its a shame that their isnt an higher level for the top players to go and test their arm at.

look forward to the reports coming in for the new season which i believe starts on sept 3rd.

21st Aug Stanley U14s travel to Skirlaugh Bulls in a friendly then I think we have the Wakefield cup semi final where we have drawn the finalist of last year Normington knights



the lads are up in training and are ripping up trees

Stanley Rangers Under 12s entertain the Crigglestone All Blacks 12s on the 3rd of September in a mouthwatering tie to kick off the inaugural mini winter league . This last winter season will see a lot of team shuffling and jostling desperate for a place in the higher leagues as the 12s is now getting to the bigger boys stuff.

good luck to all teams

That will be a superb team in Schools RL. The problem with Schools RL it for most parts is poor by club standard, as Cas High, Outwood, Normy and a couple more have 20 30 and sometimes over these numbers of kids who play at some level every week. The school my son goes to has only him as the regular player, and only 58 boys in that year compared with Outwood who have 191.
Thats why the same schools win everything every year, its not rocket science.

how do you know this.are their any fixtures out yet?

Unison cup game , not a league game .

is that Wakefield cup ?

we play Normington knights that weekend

I think it is tbh - the other games eastmoor v normy knights.

under 14s?

its a cup game so i have just been told. 4 clubs serving the wakefield area?

Do you have a similar cup for cas-side locklane/panthers/garforth and so on ?

yes we have the cas and district cup at u12s its been drawn

garforth v cas panthers
fev lions v lock lane

fryston and townville have been given byes into the semi finals.

these games are usually played mid-week so it doesnt affect on the league games which i believe start on 3rd of sept.

yes that's correct

they tend to leave it very last minute at YJL

what a day its been today

the Stanley Rangers 14s embarked on a friendly to Skirlaugh Bulls knowing that it would be a tough test of the newly revamped side.
we over heard that that they thought we wasn't going to be a side to be recconded with coming from one of their players,,,,, oh dear me

bet they wished they was playing a different side



within 11 minute Stanley was ripping the defense apart and had a lead of 18 - nil.
this went on to half time and we held a comprehensive lead of 30 - nil.

Skirlaugh was far from been a side to give up and rallied around to take the second half 8 - 10
we had taken the foot of the pedal and we did have the resources that could of repelled a decent challenge but boy the heart and soul had been ripped from Skirlaugh within 10 mins.

Skirlaugh last season hadn't lost a game in their league so we are mighty impressed with today's game

roll on the semi final against Normy Knights

Stanley Rangers in the new kit after the game

stanley rangers under 12's for this season beat 2 cas panthers teams on saturday, well done boys!

was a good work out the kids enjoyed it and it blew a few cob webbs off,gavin was great and it was well organised.

training in full swing now and the boys are training hard and are looking much stronger and sharper,we have a game next saturday against heworth and it will be a good chance to see where we are has heworth are a good side who are hoping to be placed in the top group.

hope the kid with the wrist injury wasn't hurt too badly, he looked in pain..hope he didn't break anything.

nothing broken just badly bruised. the same has the young lad from fryston who was taken to pinderfields on a spinal board,i think its a sign of things to come with the rock hard pitches,also saw a lad snap his arm on thursday during a u16s game between locklane and stanley.


it also seems the rfl have now give back word on the money they promised would be there for clubs to ensure pitches could be well looked after.

same old rfl! to me the only sensible way was to have a 3 month break from december to march and then resume until june! never mind tho because i can now see some kids trying out union and moving to that!
