46-14 winners.
1-17 all had good games although the main stand out players were:
Austin bell
Liam Cunningham
Liam Kent
Lawerence Pearce
But most of all Lee Williams he was outstanding set up most of the tries great variety with his kicking game and a 40/20 to boot towards the end, this kid has got it all.

Variety? Kicking Game? 40/20's? he'll have to stop that if he wants a first team spot

forgot to mention that Ben crooks had a great game as well, he looks a top talent and still only 17!

no disrespect to oldham, but that game would be ideal to play them in, a mixture of u20s and senior 1st teamers

agreed they scored some great tries today all different types of tries as well, some of these lads are really pushing for a first team place, and this would be an ideal chance to throw them in and give them a go.

sorry matey I would play our strongest team ..You bring young kids in one at a time" Oldham have to be beaten" But that only my opinion

That's a fair call mate, I see what your saying, maybe I wouldn't play them all, but it would be an ideal chance to give a few of them a go!

How soon will Wiliams be ready to step up, could he be Longs replacement ?

Doubt he will get a chance in the halfs this season. Had a perfect opportunity to back up his Donny performance at Cas but was not in the squad.

Tough to say really he has all the skills today grubber kicks, chip kicks for try's, 40/20's, support play, awareness and tackles above his weight, but that's at this level so it's hard to say whether he will step up and be longs successor but from what I have seen he has all the skills needed, a dual contract would maybe be the best option for Lee, like with Nev Morrison and Chris green.

Until he manages to get it down the fullbacks throat without it bouncing, he can rot in the reserves

42-36 Cas

Lee Williams has been talked up for a while and has really stepped up this season it seems, I would definately be tempted to give him a run in the CC match to judge where he is in his development.

Be interesting to compare team sheets in three years time and see how many players from each side are still in SL

Ben Crooks scored a try and kicked 6 goals, not bad for a kid who wasn't named in the 17!

The kid has got talent in abundance, and runs some great lines with plenty of pace to boot.

Had a decent game in pre-season at Doncaster,from what i remember.

Yeh I think he did mate, the thing about the 20s is the amount of full length try's and the quality of some of the other try's, I know it's against lesser opposition but it's great to watch, well worth the effort if you can get down to Ionians. Playing Bradford on Sunday at 2.30pm unfortunately/fortunately il be on my way to Spain for the week for the catalans game!

That is a good result against Cas under 20s. I watched them tear our under under 20s a new one a few weeks ago. Granted they had Owen And Isa in the side who caused a lot of the damage but they had a lot of good young players besides them.
I heard earlier on this evening that a few of your reserve/academy games will be moving to Hullensions shortly with a view to a permanent move in the near future. I think the 2 lower grade Derbies are amongst them. Seems a strange one with you been so established down at Ionians.

That is a bit of a strange one, I personally like the facilities down at Ionians but I think the overall aim is to have the academy games back in hull which obviously the boulevard was our first choice.
On the Cas team they were average at best didn't see much from them but they might have all had an off day, only first team players were steve snitch and Oliver holmes if I remember correctly.

Let's hope he's a tee total version of his dad

I'm hopeful we have afew who could make it through from this group, Crooks, Newton and Williams being among them.

Has the kid we signed from Scotland (half back I think) been playing much for the 20s? Or the hooker from Cumbria (Newton?)
