no wonder my mine never came to watch me

in australia parents are invited to games and if they dont behave they dont come the week afterit leaves the coaches to do their jobs and the kids to enjoy

the sad thing is that this was the coach / touch line manager who did this the very people who should be training respect both to the players and crowd.

STANLEY V UPTON UDER 8s =red[uOFF[/u DUE TO WEATHER

should be a good test for stanley,lane are a decent team and will be smarting from losing their first game last week against dewsbury moor.

yep it will test a few off our lads but i think the experience of stepping up a level will see them well.

Lock Lane 9s 14 Stanley 9s 28

fantastic game by both teams

superb win for the rangers that preserves that unbeaten run against a team in a higher group . the rangers had a few missing players and the lads had to stay on for the full match so quite a few will sleep tonight.

well done to the lads nice to hear they are ready for the next level

cas panthers u8s postponed

cas panthers u9s 12 stanningley u9s 24

we lost out in lets say it was a very physical game played in tough conditions,we didnt have the rub of the green from the ref but they deserved their win after intimidating us out of it.

a good win for stanley over lane who up until the last two weeks have been drubbing teams for fun in pool 2.

Westgate Wolves

more like Tadpoles on a hot day, lost to Drigglington with ease

to continue to that game it was deemed that the club was to be fined £150 for the lets say indiscretions, we have taken a zero tolerance from now on and will not allow the lads standards to drop, a constant reminder will always be on hand

I hope that the other under 11s clubs that we play take the same attitude and stop this rivalry and just get on with the game.

we have this weekend dewsbury moor who beat us at home, so time to put things right and come away with a win

That's if our prop is allowed to play his usual game without opposing coaches/parents baying for his blood mate.

a star in the making, i expect a different game on sat

yeah i know , grown men exchanging info about sorting out or keeping a eye on players . FFS the lad is 11

.

dewsbury moor under11s 6 stanley rangers under11s 4 this was a had fought battle under very cold conditions, both sides put a good defensive battle, it was end to end and our line was penetrated when my lad tried an interception and the player slipped behind to score


at least he understood what he had done and another lesson learned
kippax at home next week

hope they come to play the same game we had today

i went to watch hunselt warriors u10s vs cas panthers u10s this morning and im sad to say the game was abandond after an incident.

a panthers player ran the ball in and was punched in the tackle by the warriors no 4 who then went to have another go despite the referee blowing up, the ref held the no4 by his shirt to prevent him striking the panthers player again but the warriors coaches didnt like the ref holding the player and ran onto the pitch to confront the ref while the lads parent then ran onto the pitch looking to kill the ref and was threatening to hit him with a baseball bat,i tell you i have never seen anything like it.the panthers parents rightly pulled their kids off the field.

imo the referee was right to hold the no4 after it was about the 3rd time the lad had been warned about his behaviour,the parent who ran onto the field should never be allowed near a rugby field again,the referee had to make a quick exit from the ground in fear of repucutions.

i sometimes wonder why i bother coaching when incidents like this happen,i went today to watch an older age group than the one i coach and tbh i wish i hadnt bothered.

one word =red[uRESPECT[/u, sadly not enough teams coaches and parents emphasise this. The lad who had been warned should of been pulled from the field of play by his coaches and given 10 minutes to cool off. as for the idiot with the bat threats he should be arrested and charged with an offence . im guessing the ref was a kid if so do the thickos not realise that if not for these youngsters then the games would end up in chaos.


moving on no game for rangers 9s this week as sadly birstall as folded, the 8s have the short trip to eastmoor weather permitting

thats not good to see brayton, and i agree parents like that shouldnt be near any sporting pitch,

I can't believe how its just got out of hand, I have left dewsbury moor talking to a coach there explaining that parents are getting over the top and repairing some of the damage down on their previous visit but this far worse, to threaten the ref stopping a lad from being hit

I hope the book is bloody hard when it hits them

Because it's in your blood and if you don't you'll leave to someone else who just doing because they have no choice.

Stick with the players/team you have and help raise the standards for others to follow. The game/players need YOU.

We were at the ground yesterday moarning with normy knights u12s , i did nt see the incident but saw the look on the faces of the cas lads coming off the pitch .This sort of behaviour is just not acceptable, the lads take into adult life what they learn from their parents. Big fines needed to stamp it out

heworth u9s 24 cas panthers u9s 20

a very tough game for the panthers this morning played in freezing conditions,both teams scored 4 tries but it was heworth`s goal kicking that proved the difference,my players are a bit down but they are playing without me on the field while heworth still had their coach on the field to give them direction,its tough for them at the moment but in the long runn they will reap the benefits.

thankfully no incidents to report today.

unlucky we too lost a close encounter by the two points missed, why have you chosen not to be on the field directing them, are pushing their talents earlier?

i made the decision because i felt we were ready to take the next step,from u8s this team were very good and very rarely lost a game,they were at a stage where they only had to turn up to win but they were begining to take it for granted and stagnating and not learning much.now they after make the decisions themselves and put into practice what we do in training.

to be fare to them they are doing very well despite making some errors but now they are learning again, the most important thing is learning to do things for themselves without having to be told.the easy option would be for me to stay on the field and call all the plays and win games but i have a lot of trust in my three playmakers who take it in turns to call the sets and they enjoy the responability.
