ive just heared tonight that the rfl have stepped in and decided to let the u9s coaches vote on what rules they will play for the remainder of the season,and after 19 teams submitted their vote it favoured playing to mod rules for the rest of the season although next years u9s will start and finish playing mini league rules.

sounds like a u turn in the right direction, listening to the majority for a change

back to the second half of the season for the stanley rangers under 11s we have our first tough match of group one, playing stanningley from what I've been told haven't lost in two years, so will the boys be ready to make that extra effort that has helped them back into the top group.

kick off is 11-30 sat morn

stanley rangers under 11s put up a spirited performance today losing 16-4 to stanningley, was a closer game than expected

going with normy knights under 14s away at rylands, warrington.

national cup semi final, its going to be a tough game, so might not get back to bv for this afternoon. so lets make it a double come on trin

good luck to normy

Under 9s and 8s back underway today for Stanley

8s Away at Hunslet with the newly promoted 9s entertaining Stanningley at Ferry Lane 11:30 . Stanley have moved up 2 groups and today will surly test the unbeaten run.

for the second time in a fortnight cas panthers u9s and heworth u9s locked horns and came up with the same result a draw.

it finished 38-38 despite the panthers building up a 32-16 lead,but with heworth only having 8 players the panthers were forced into making subs to give every player a run including two debutants and this was the telling factor has heworth edged in front before a late try and goal got the panthers a deserved draw after out scoring their opponants 8 tries to 7.

stanley under 8s had a tricky assignment at hunslet and were beaten 6-1ish .

the under 9s hosted stanningley in their first top flight game and after a nip n tuck and bruising encounter came away with a 18-10 victory scoring the crucial try with the last play of the match.

you must have a good team to beat stanningley thats an impressive result for you.

the lads can hold there own but TBF stanningley could just of won it as easily as well.
I see what you mean about how close this group is.
great entertainment today in the 9s

it is a very close group of teams which all goes well for the future,there are some teams that are hell bent on winning and you can see in a few years time they will struggle because they have stuck with 8-9 players and not allowed other players into the group in fear of losing a few games which is a shame.

has ive said there are no easy games in this group and any team can beat another on the day,we have our derby next week against lock lane which will again be real hard game for us but one which we will look forward to.

we lost 20 points to 6, were winning 6-4 but a couple of things turned it their way, we were conceding a stone and half a man up front and it told in the end but we played quite well and we give it our best shot

stanley under 11s took a pounding today losing 34 -0, heads fell down and wasn't easy to watch mentally now they have to pick them selves up and understand they have to keep fighting on

So they did not play Warrington then



All part of the learning curve and will make them better players.

they played just like warrington tho

cas panthers u8s and u9s made it a double over arch rivals lock lane with the u8s winning 5 tries to 2 away while at home the u9s ran out 34-16 winners in a bruising derby game.

despite missing two key players through holiday the panthers u9s got stuck into lock lane and opened up a 22-6 half time lead but lock lane closed the gap to 6 points before the panthers scored 3 more tries to run out comfortable winners.

stanley under 9s went to a windy winnmore and came away with a well deserved 48-22 win with quite a few players stepping up a few gears and coming very good. There is real competition amonst
t this set of players now.

this saturday stanley rangers under 11s are playing at home to methley,

they was due to run out with the wildcats against st helens on friday in their new kit for breast cancer and do a collection, but it was cancelled for obvious reasons,
there will be a minutes silence at the pitch side in remembrance of the tragic loss of Leon Walker

kickoff is at 11-30 at the rangers home field anybody is welcome

I would like to add just watch the young lads enjoy the game, you can understand the drive to want to make it to the top

nice bright but bitter cold day for today's match hope the rain holds off, see you up there chris?

what a game that was, the elements may have taken its toll for the methley club in the second half as the rain lashed down into their faces, in the end stanley under 11s was victorious by 16 points to 10, the last being sublime keiron's pass in the tackle to lewis for him to score had everybody in awe,
but it was the overall team performance in defense that won them the day,

having had two dire games previously to today's, I told my lad to just do it for Leon and he did, I am very proud of him and the rest of the team too



thanks again to Al for coming to watch in horrible weather you seem to fetch the best out of him

and you ticket didn't win again
