We have won a plate!!!!

Smashed them 28-6, great effort to pick themselves up after the poor first game and win the plate.

Loved the last try, kick over the defense for the wing to pick up and score, really clever.

Another good smart kick from Hyde there. And Fletcher took it well. All in all a good performance and a deserved victory.

Bet Ken Daveys on the blower tomorrow !

Well done Wakey. Thoroughly deserved.

Our future is bright with these lads (including Morrison)
Speed and skill and with Wildie and Hyde a lot of clever play.

Only thing holding them back will be physique. Need to work on that as well as they do as Leeds and Wigan.

Great effort lads. I enjoyed watching.

Well done lads, showed what they are capable off.

instagr.am/p/MWcDxRqppk/ Glenn Morro great coach in the making ! Think he will be a top coach in a few years.

Congratulations Wakey on winning the plate final. The future looks bright.

Shame we didn't win the tourno, but well done to the lads for their performances in qualifying for the finals, and well done on winning the plate.



Who are this year's winners?

just got back and I must say that the attendance was appalling from previous years, looks like the novelty has worn off but it didn't spoil the evening entertainment

Well done lads the first game was up against a good side that went on to win it so we for the second time we lost to the winners of the comp, this year with being knocked out earlier to last years we at least gave our selves a second bite with the shield.

nice to see the lads take it in there stride rather than spraying champers around

Cumbria beat fev 10 -8

For me we put the best game performance by a team on the night against Wolves. Some very clever play from the lads and good finishing by Fletcher. He's a gangly lad who doesn't look like he's in top gear but can shift.

I agree.

Cumbria were good and its a pity we didn't play them at the end in stead of the beginning but we beat everybody else so deserved the plate.

Dissapointing performance in the first game. Feel if we had beaten Cumbria we maybe would have won the main event.

Also a poor turn out from Wakey fans...we probably could have all come in a taxi.

But the main question was...where was Daddy Cool?

I got their late. Think parking puts people off going to headingley especially on week night but was actually easy to park. Think it kicked off too early for people to get their in time as well which may have put people off.

and the fact that it was live over t'interweb.
I watched in the comfort of my own armchair while eating ice cream and my kid could play outside with his mates.
I'm sure that woud reduce numbers. Hope Trin got something for the link.

arrived just as the first game had a few mins to go and made my way behind the sticks at only to be told that they was only using the seated area



didn't see that many grouped so just sat on our own until they did open up the end of the ground

poor turn out from all fans in general as I've seen it with three stands open in the past but last nights must give the RFL another worrying time

I really think the RFL are missing a trick with this. I went a couple of years ago there was a decent crowd, but it was lost in the vast expanse of Headingley. It was a good night's entertainment, but needed developing and filling out a bit.

Tuesday evenings are OK for the qualifying rounds, but the finals should be on a weekend afternoon or bank holiday. It needs to be cheap an cheerful. It should be billed as a family festival gala and have lots of events directed at the kids, maybe youth/schools teams competing too. Someone with some marketing nous could make this a winner.

I definitely think a smaller ground may be the way forward, and yes the final would be better played on a weekend if poss.

Somewhere like a community sports facility with mulitiple pitches and easy access from the M62?

I was thinking about a nice compact little ground with plenty of cover.

BV perhaps?

That'd be ok for the next couple of years, but they should be looking for somewhere more modern after that.

Indeed. Like a brand spanking new stadium perhaps?

Lee Briers has suggested that the finals should be held at magic weekend between the main games
