cheers mutley, he is enjoying training.

thought we had upset you but i guess saturday was a very good day all round. not many teams go to eastmoor and win . in fact just coming home with nothing stolen is a bonus .
i hope you didnt give away a penelty as you may end up with video evidence getting a player banned



great team and some good players at moore shame that some grown ups let them down .

next season will be a great season if the same 8 stay up and two more get put into league as per norm i can already see a 4 horse race for the leauge .... with an outsider maybe .

although CAB, CP , CLL , and ED will be the ones to beat

agree with how tough it will be for next season,you could be in the running for top 4 and face a relegation battle at the same time,thats how tight it is at our age group.lets hope we have got a age group thats strong which i believe is the case sometimes when you get 1 team that dominates the league that competion of teams looking to improve goes out of the window.next year i also think we will see an influx of new players once the kids get to high school so some sides will look a little different.

yep, im sure they will

. looking forward to the meeting on artic hill (painthorpe) in a couple of weeks . im guessing your young un will be at cas high ...make sure lock lane dont tap him up

The mighty Sharlston Rovers this afternoon won the BARLA National cup, beating Fryston 20 - 18 in a dramatic final at Fylde RUFC.
The winning try was scored with about thirty seconds left on the clock. The ref blew straight aftter the failed conversion attempt.

Good game, and well worth the drive to Blackpool and the £6 entrance fee.

yes he is going to cas high he had the choice between cas high and st wilfreds but he wants to go to cas high,has for lock lane has i tell all my kids and parents never say never.we have kids from lock lane,stanley and fev lions in our team now.

looking forward to coming to crigg always a friendly welcome and has always a tough game will played.

just read moors report which took 7 days moore (see what i did there ) than when they won ... crigg should hang there heads in shame asking for as many of the team to be available to play as possible. to be fair the ref should of made sure that it was 12 a side at all times and that although inconvenient crigg would have to have 6 subs . it makes the victory look a sham to realise that moore had to put up with there 12 players getting into a game plan .

im that annoyed about this i think that if any video or dvd evidence exists then it should be hand delivered to the houses of parliament for the sports committee to raise as an urgent question . the same happened the week befor at cas would you know.



staninngley away this week.... i shall be counting




p.s.

that is as confusing as it gets mutts????

im sure spongy will read between the lines



hope you young un is sorted to play now

no he isn't, mr bray refused him so had to appeal..don't know charlie bray from adam but some things don't seem quite right, how can 1 person make decisions on an 11 year old kid ? what he is saying is that because he played under 12 he cannot transfer until next season..i can't see anything in the rules but it is "unwritten!" i am glad football at junior level has a semblance of professionalism! little un is a bit upset about it all and can't really understand it...

I think when you're a parent it's quite easy to be blinkered when it comes to your own child's team. Whilst it may be amusing to ridicule other clubs and coaches, I think you need to remember that it's an amateur sport and the coach in question gives up a lot of his own time to coach these kids, as well as being a parent himself. I know for a fact he will do anything to look after those players, and I don't think you can ask for anymore than that, regardless of whether you're Crigg, Eastmoor or anyone else. I think anyone who gives up their own time deserves a little bit more respect than bashing on a public forum, especially when you've given as much to the game as him and his family.

As you said, they're also struggling to get a full side together each week. Trust me, it's not much fun when, as a 9/10/11 year old, you turn up on a match day not really knowing whether you'll have enough players to actually start the game. And then you get comments like "in fact just coming home with nothing stolen is a bonus". If someone comes on here and is thinking of taking their kids to a local club, they would not take them to Eastmoor when they read things like that. And then you wonder why they turn up with 12 players. It's a shame, as Eastmoor is a cracking club. I know how frustrating junior rugby can get, but I think people need to remember that it is just that, junior rugby.

If I remember correctly, the rules on transferring between clubs were drawn up due to Stanley Rangers pulling together the entire Yorkshire side from different clubs at Under 15 level around 16 years ago. Most of the players then went on to sign for Halifax I think. Chris Chester was the star player.

I have to agree - the results of local amateur and junior teams is interesting; the petty sniping and inter-club politics of said teams is most definitely not.

I agree there is nothing wrong with Eastmoor and when my lad played there short of a full side we still had some good times. its when you get to under 12s upwards do you have to have a full squad.

there are coaches that take it a bit further than coaching and end up upsetting parents trying to become that league coach through the children, one that I know of has already lost one player to us and a few others going as well.

having limited player movements is there also to stabilise clubs as kids could just pick up sticks and all move to another club.

that happen in our year with stanningley who now come under another name but can't play in the Yorkshire juniors as the have been banned for doing it, only a couple of good sides in that league

having limited player movements is there also to stabilise clubs as kids could just pick up sticks and all move to another club.

as long as it applies to all snowie..also amazing how the transfer sheet hasn't been updated since the first week of feb !!!!!

yes i must agree and not once does any credit ever get given to the opposition on the reports.

some coaches need to step back and remember that to be a fine winner you must take defeat on the chin . i would rather my lad be a good loser than a bad winner.

never once as 1 report pointed out the opposition quality and always as to have to have a dig "stanley just used big guys" "they had more subs" "the ref was poor" ....like some one said they are kids

.

anyway its big boys next year , im sure eastmoor will be in the mix some fine prospects

yeah agree , and yep no update on list

with regards transfers we had a couple of lads come to methley recently and i was wondering if they need a transfer for next season as they say they want to sign for us.

I think all the sqaud signed for halifax initially, there was a connection with one of the parents I beleive, out of that side (from memory) only Chester really "made it" with Hobson, Molyneux and a couple of odd others scratching out a career mainly in the lower division.

Molyneux was the year below, and I thought he started out at Sheffield, although I may be wrong. The scrum half (Robinson I think) also did okay in the lower leagues. Jon Wells didn't do too bad either.

according to what i have learnt..and i may be wrong..but if they have registered with another club they will need a transfer and these won't go through until the yorkshire junior league receive the money for registration.

yep to become free agent status they must wait a year / barmy to the core i know

didnt realise wells was in that side, wasnt there 2 molyneux brothers?

Yeah, he joined them quite late and was part of the reason the rules were introduced to stop one side poaching all the top players. I remember thinking at the time that Wells had no chance of making it as a pro compared to some of the others, it shows what I know!

Chris Molyneux was the year below Chester and Wells, and his brother Jonny is 2 years younger than Chris. Again I might be wrong here, but I think Jonny might have played a few games for our acadamy side.

if they have played for another club yes they will need to transfer,

each team can have three signings from other clubs I think but if they have come from a club that has disbanded then they should be a free player same as if they had not played for any other club
