my lad played today for outwood against cas high in the year 9s

couldn't believe the score at 60-1 and cas scored that with seconds to go

there isnt nothing coming through in cas until you get to under 13s and u12s above that they are pretty average for some reson,i suppose it goes like that sometimes.other than u16s at lock lane the 16s,15s,14s club sides are all lower division sides.

no reason why they shouldn't be closer, got to blame the coaches this more like down to confidence and attitude

my old school coach managed to over 3 years get us closer to the junior england champs becketts, we never beat them and never scored averaging 40 pts a game against us, he managed to instill targets to reach nowing that we would be beat and we achieved two in the last game we played them, in that final we kept them to 22 and we scored.

when the final whistle went you would of thought that we had won the game

It's a shame that St Thomas a Becketts lost focus on RL as the school traditionally produced a lot of quality players who went on to play the game at a high standard. I remember going to Wigan in the National Schools Cup and the lads we played against were telling us that they wanted anyone but STAB, such was the reputation of the school at that time.

Outwood Grange now has a growing reputation but they'll have to keep producing winning teams for a lot more years before they reach the level Becketts were at.

Wakey derby for the 12s CRIGG V MOOR always a good game

can't wait till about 2pm tomorrow & there's been no " phone call ".






sad state of affairs when you feel like this about an u12's game though , but hey ho , this'll be it till next year

cas panthers went down 12-18 to top of the table locklane,trailing 0-14 at ht the boys showed some real character to score 3 tries in the second half.a very pleasing performance with 3 key players all missing including our first choice goal kicker we had them rattled and only a last ditch tackle prevented us getting a draw has we had them hanging on.

crigg overcame eastmoor who looked a little out of sorts given reports from last week. i think it ended up 54-10 with a few new names getting in on the scoring

thats an impressive scoreline.

Sounds like it was a cracking game!

it always is between the pair ,the coaches said after the game the form book goes out of the window.all the kids are mates again now which is the most pleasing thing has the majority go to and play for the school team,the laners will have the bragging rights but we have a home semi final at the end of the month with a full side to play and im sure we did enough today to have them worrying.

been a long time coming , i think moor were still in it in the first half until the last 5 minutes and then a couple of silly errors and hey presto 3 tries in 5 minutes game over but the moor lads kept plugging away. its not nice seeing any team get 50+ put past them maybe its gonna be cup or bust they proved last week they are ok with the top guns of div 2 but maybe without sounding patronising or indeed condescending for the good of the development of some belting players they need a rest bite do eastmoor and a few months in division 2 could well provide that stability and confidence for all involved throughout the group.

i wish them all well and truly hope a win is just round the corner except if we meet in BARLA cup or Wakey Cup Final

.

still think that they have more to offer than teams in division 2 even if teams like stanley have some of the strongest players at under 12s level.

Another good win for Stanley Rangers A U13's yesterday, over the Yorkshire Coast Titans.

Stanley put together some great attacking rugby and despite having a player who I'm sure must be the biggest U13's player in the country, the Titans couldn't contain them.

Entertaining stuff and a great result for such a new team - joint top now with East Leeds, who we play next week.

massive lad must be six foot plus, did he get up to much?

Aye, he scored a few - was virtually unstoppable from within 20 yards.

Nice lad too - they all were, the game was played in great spirit.

He scored all three of YCTs tries.

#RangersRedsU13s did exceptionally well to contain him and restrict him to just three tries.

As Bren says there was some great attacking rugby played with a number of passing moves of 6/7 passes resulting in tries.

Tough and uncompromising but also a very good natured game played in exactly the correct spirit.

Next game sees Stanley Rangers Reds visit East Leeds

1 Stanley Rangers 'A' 4 3 1 0 104 60 44 0 6

6 Yorkshire Coast Titans 5 1 4 0 120 178 -58 0 2

impressive start to the season

keep up the good work

good to see another wakefield team doing well

More impressive than the wins is that a group of young lads are loving their rugby league and want to play for their coaches; that's why lots of adults put in loads of volunteer time I guess. I certainly wouldn't be spending my Saturday marshalling a car park at Stanley Rangers in a hi-vis vest (with a hangover) if my lad wasn't enjoying himself.

tonight I leaned that one of old our players from a couple of seasons ago has lost his dad in that tragic accident on the M1 this tea time

my heart goes out to him the poor lad

R.I.P. Mark

yeah just heard the same , Karen got a message from jodies mum and asked me this morning and it just hit me now , went on FB to see and saddened to find out it was the truth . poor lad only 13/14 is he snowie?

R.I.P. Mark . Condolences to Marks extended family and friends @ stanley Rangers Under 14s

its the stuff like that going unnoticed most of the time that enable the games to go ahead . respect to you but nobody does the car park like kingy

yes he is, he moved on to another club,

for his size he was a strong player with plenty of heart

so sad what has happen

Awful news, my heart breaks for him and his family.

I lost my dad when I was 15, while there's never a good time, 5yrs old or 50, the middle teenage years is when young lads need their dads influence the most.

Condolences to the family - I can't imagine what they're going through.
