stanley rangers under 11s lost 0-6 to east leeds, very close game

Thanks Snowie.

Shaw Cross Sharks U9s came out on top in a nip n tuck encounter beating Stanley rangers 10-8 inflicting Stanley's first defeat in 17 matches.

my lads seems very down at the mo , don't know if he wants to be on the pitch at the mo and when asked he doesn't seem that that bothered

most kids have a spell where they go off the boil and think they are better off doing something else but persevere and come training night they usually come home from school and cant wait to get down to the field.


this weekend the castleford panthers u9s have been playing in the scarborough festival where we played teams from lancashire,the panthers won 4 games but narrowly lost out against st judes from wigan and newton from st helens.the standard of rugby was has tough has we have ever played and we really needed to knuckle down and played some of our best rugby we have done all year.its been a great experiance for all the players and really brought the kids closer together has a unit which will put us in good stead for remainder of the year.all the players are battered and bruised and in need of a good nights sleep after what i can only describe has a long weekend.

Stanley Rangers under 12's won the Yorkshire Division 1 championship this weekend losing only 1 game in the top league all season, and that being only the 2nd game in the last 5 seasons they have lost. A big fat well done to all the boys !

well done lads





good follow up on Saturday with stanley rangers under 18s winning against normy knights in the final

Well done to Ian and the lads, you out enthused us on the day sorry we were a bit flat, never seemed to get going.

from the warm up you lot looked keen enough, but it was that coloured lad (sorry don't know his name ) that ripped your defense apart as soon as he came on, two corking tries

stanley rangers under 11s are playing tomorrow at home down at the school, kick off 10-30 playing against hunslet warriors, as I had mention earlier on another thread the lads will be playing in their normal kit instead of the pink one.

I would like to be there but will be on my merry way to edinbro

so good luck lads and I hope they put a good game as last week but get the result

Muffy I think his nick name is.

forgot to post yesterday match stanley under 11s was up against a strong featherston lions who hasn't lost up to date,
the score was 24 - 6 to the lions but it was an impressive start to the game kept it close and was some time before they manage to breach our defensive line, on our attack it was again impressive to see them utilize the ball to full shipping it to the wings, having lost before and seeing them with their heads down it was nice to see some grit and determination to score, whether this had anything to do with the pink strip that they wore for the first time who knows, but all parents expressed how proud they was of them






away at oulton raiders next week

Stanley rangers 8s toughed it out on sunday at stanningley just 24 hrs after player the curtain raiser for the NCL Grand final at featherstone .
the 8s sporting the new pink kit made huge strides against 2 very good teams and although they lost out on both occasions the lads heads never once went down.


meanwhile the 9s were back on form against a very well organized crigglestone side coming back from 24-10 down to nick it 26-24 with a pressure conversion at the death.
The 9s have recently seen the other side of the coin with their first 2 defeats of the season but achieved the goal off beating one off the targeted sides . Im sure Richard n Phil are very happy with the way the stand off system worked after a few weeks of perseverance . i did not see the match today but my lad thought the last 10 minutes was probably the best 10 minutes they have played all year.

as for me well i know wakey got knocked out this weekend but every cloud n all that

dissapointed from a crigg perspective - but have to say well done to the Stanley lads for their never say die attitude . In particular the lad at half back ( no1 - sorry can't remember his name ) had a great game. Just like to say thanks for the warm welcome and the hot dogs at the pitch side - hope the gala was a huge success .
Don't think our lads were too downhearted , it was a great game all round .

the lad at 1 stepped in at s/o for the regular lad he does have that natural ability and a great turn off speed.

Certainly does -had a great game

its a shame the 2 teams only meet once this time , can see a bit of a healthy rivalary emerging between the 2 sides that will carry on trough the age groups.

Absolutely ! Just hope we don't get dropped down by the league at the end of the year . The lads always play well but seem to run out of steam in the second half, seem to lose by a couple of points a lot lately . Derby games , even at this age , add a bit more spice to things and the Stanley lads were chuffed to bits when that winning kick went over . Pleased with our lads though, no one sulked , all shook hands and that hasn't happened at a few places when we've won , believe me !

nice to see another club posting keep up your fixtures and results

seemed to have lost the others

its a shame when that happens but i think it comes from the side lines. i know a couple of teams we've won as well this year who have gone off sulking one unnamed club that did not even come back to the club house.

cannot see that Stanley have won a lot of games this year but in this group its nearly always by the odd couple of points its a very tight group where any team on any given day can win . Good luck for rest of season

Thanks for that - I'll keep posting the crigg scores . We're playing shaw cross this week , beat them earlier in the year but they beat Stanley didn't they , so must have improved . Good luck fellas

cas panthers u9s returned to action in the league for the first time in 3 weeks and despite putting in a great defencive effort we went down 10-4 away at drighlington.

both teams defences were in top form with some crunching tackles been made by both teams all legal and in good spirit,a 4-4 all draw looked likely until drigs scrum half showed great footwork to score the winner.

this week we travel to eastmoor for what should be another tight affair.
