can't believe I've left this so late to promote,

tomorrow at college grove there are three Wakefield finals

under 12s
Stanley Rangers v Normy knights
under 13s
Stanley Rangers v Normy knights
under 14s
Stanley Rangers v Walton (i think)

arrived back from the lads game at college grove where Stanley Rangers Under 13s managed to win the spoils over Normy knights by 20 - 6.

playing down hill they took the lead with a great run from our winger and was converted from the side lines, normy then replied fairly quickly close to the sticks to level it at half time.

Stanley had most of the possession in the first half but failed to capitalise on this, come the second half we was under the cuff where the Normy attacking held a good line but they failed to pass.

I had two comments from ladies while they passed me one said loudly while passing 'lets see what Sh!t he writes tonight' and another 'I hope you put up a decent write up'


now I'm not a journalist and I going to have Stanley glasses on because my lad plays for them so if you want to post your points to the game come on and do so, it is free

for what its worth Normy team just lack size and aggression which is part of the game, the do hold a good line and in the second half did put up a good passing game but failed to break the through.
rather gripe at me at the match in passing why don't you come on here and promote your own club as you see it like I try to do you just might get them bigger lads in your team

Crigg u11's won away today at East Leeds 26-12 . Not the most outstanding of performances it has to be said - but the team improved as the game went on ,so there's always a positive .
We played on a brand new pitch today - 1st game on it - so the lads have done something historic - in a fashion . Good set of folk over there , nice clubhouse and excellent bacon butties (icon_biggrin.gifROOL: ) . Lots of hard works obviously gone into the set up , a few grants - but doesn't look like it's been wasted so good on 'em .

Just read your bit from today Snowie . I don't know you from Adam personally ,but I can't honestly remember anything you've posted on here that hasn't been fair and obviously un-biased to one side or the other . Take no notice - daft sods .

I try to keep a balanced focus but tend to watch my lad positioning through the game even though the ball my be at the other end of the field and I can miss the odd misdemeanor,
what he does in the game matters more to me

no wonder there is a shortage of refs coming through with the amount of abuse they get.
its like a win at all costs even at junior level

I wouldn't mind they have every opportunity to come on here and promote their club

cas panthers u11s went down 28-6 against neighbours locklane,fair play to lock lane they were far hungrier than our kids and deserved their big win.we tried very hard and some of our players ran their blood to water but in the end they had far too many players doing the same.

Well done on winning the cup, I've reffed both your lot and Normanton this year and both clubs are a credit to the Yorkshire Junior and Wakefield ARL.

How did the U14s get on with Walton?

firstly thank you for that, both clubs deserve a lot a credit in producing 4 teams for Stanley and 5 for Normy for the finals, we had to leave early but it wasn't looking good, Stanley was well into the 40s with out a score from Walton

great win for churwell under 12's against york yesterday to avoid relegation...wish they could have played like that all season! last game for my little un though who is moving to stanley under 11's and i have just heard from mr bray the most stupid rule ever!! now got to appeal to rfl so he can play this season!

nice light training now for the u 13s lads down at stanley, welcomed some new players tonight hope they settle in





and more to come

methley u13s are on light training at the moment after agood first season back in the league.i know we are in the bottom league but after the team folded and we then got them going again the lads have done very well.i am looking forward to next season if i can hold on to this squad but any new players are welcome if anybody knows anyone who wants to play.

I would keep a mention on here as it does help, it doesn't cost nowt and if it gets Methley U13s building a stronger side then that's all for the better.

its not nice to hear about sides that struggle for players

good luck for the coming season

Off up to Shaw Cross to watch the BARLA GB LIONS play in a warm up game against the Army lads.


It would seem the Army lads are all huge and my lads needs some nappies taking up before ko

Crigg u11's won yesterday at shaw cross 46-18 . Sounds like a walkover , but fair play to Shaw Cross , they played some good rugby at times just defensively they let themselves down .
Don't know who the ref was but he was terrible - didn't seem to know the rules & the only thing he indicated was the fifth tackle - it's a thankless task i know, but if you want to ref then you've got to be positive and let the players know why a decisions been made .

How did they get on.

GB Lions under 19's 26 - British Army 10, some big boys and a tough game.

Last warm up game before they fly out to Serbia.

the ads on the right hand side cut some of the players out of the pic



good luck to the lads over there hope they enjoy the trip

Crigg u11's beat Eastmoor yesterday morning 28-12 . Wait for an excuse filled report in the express on Friday ( if they even bother - must keep it hush ,hush that they've lost! ).

not put our last two results on but here goes the week before last we lost 16-10 at eastmoor and despite some reports that eastmoor played with less players i can tell you that wasnt true and both teams had the same number even though it meant us having 7 subs on the day.

this saturday we hosted stanningley and came out on top winning 6-4 with both teams defending very well in a tough encounter,think we deserved the win in the end but in the second half we had to defend for our lives has stanningley threw everything they had at us but having taken a early 6-0 lead it wasnt until the very last play of the game stanningley broke our defence but thankfully the conversion never got close.

westgate 16s beat Greetland in the top four play off final at upton, 14 - 10 so happy for the lads and my son

Are you and baz going to Salford on bus?

its ok we can just edit to suit

appeal in, still waiting..it's easier to get a superinjunction

shame that an 11 year old has this much hassle ! wonder how rugby union go on ?

How difficult would it be for the whole registration process be to be made electronic? i can do anything from my phone or pc (even getting HMRC to refund my tax!), surely forms could be filled in electronically etc so that there is an electronic trail..just in case anything went astray!

so your finally making the move

.

its shocking the way how some behave when a transfer is put in its just bitterness , why players at this age can not just move is beyond me .... maybe we need a bosman ruling .
anyways good luck at stanley a top club imho even if the CABs will give me grief for saying so
