12-6 HT, very inexperienced side for Hull.

in 3rd 4 points clear of 5th place Rovers with two games including tonight to play but points difference is 180 odd different so whatever happens we are in the play-off but with an away game. We could stay third with a win against Warrington in our last game at Bishop Burton otherwise lose tonight and we finish 4th. Very weakened team tonight which you can read about in the Diary on Monday but for now at least a very young FC team is leading 14-12.

Now losing 16-14 massive effort though with only 15 fit players starting 10 minutes to go!

Final score.?

Lost 20-14

Good effort that missing 8 players.

Confusing regarding Abdull, Logan, Fash and Downs. Was told they'd be playing.

Think you got wrong table Wilf, we was 6 clear of 5th place Cas.

We should still finish 3rd , def if we win last home game so will go away to Saints in playoff.


Fash and Downs both warmed up tonight but we're 18 & 19th man.


Poor game from both sides, KR went 70 mins between scoring opportunities and prob worst FC display I've seen this year. Yes you can blame lack of bodies but even the side we had out should have been good enough to earn the result, I the end KRs enthusiasm won them the game

Definitely agree with that.

Same. Due to no 1st team game all were due to play. Or that was plan on Saturday

We beat ourselves and lost to ourselves then?

Bit strange leaving Fash and Downs out when they're getting first team football. A disappointing result but since we won the previous 5 derbies and will finish top 3, pretty satisfying end for our academy. Think we'll get hammered at Saints with so many missing, mind, they're top dogs in the comp IIRC.

Good luck in the top 4 play offs. You deserve to be there. Would have loved to have seen the current crop of under 19s play each other at full strength but alas this season it wasn't to be.
Over the 3 game series, you coming out on top with a positive points difference of 6 is a fair reflection of the games I have seen.

What is for certain is that although few of us want this "collaboration" at junior level, we will dominate Acadamy rugby from now on. Let's hope we both produce some superstars though....

Anyway, final bragging right to the Robins.

Yeh sorry Karl looking at wrong table looked at pre split one

We'll finish third in 8's because whatever 4th place Warrington do points difference should guarantee us an away game at Saints in the play offs. Rovers win last night was their first in the 10 play -off games played. As RBA says THE CITY will have a strong merged academy next season and I guess questions will be asked if they don't sweep all before them, but its sad for the juniors to see the end of these derby's we've seen some passionate and great encounters between the two Clubs in the modern era.

Quote ="UptheCream"To clear it up about the missing players, Abdull had an injection on a swollen thumb so wasn't fit but Fash, Downs and Logan all could have played - in fact two of them even warmed up!! Callum Smith played with a groin problem and illness, and Josh Wood with a sore back. I find it disgraceful that this was the case. Best thing for Pearson was for Rovers to win on Wednesday, makes his little merger points seem less full of bull. Although I will say one thing, the three Derby games this year have been shocking in terms of quality. Hull face Warrington a week on Saturday before the top four play-off, hopefully our first team lads will be back for that at least. Anyhow, here's Wednesday nights review: upthecream.co.uk/robins-take-fin ... d-hull-fc/'" Wire beat Saints last night to draw level with yourselves, so whoever wins that game next week will play the semi final away to Saints, the losers will travel to Wigan.

Last home game of the season on Saturday at Bishop Burton , Ko 12:00

Not full strength so looks like 2 or 3 will figure on Sunday again

Can Warrington catch us, mathematically?

If they beat us they finish 3rd.

Oh, bit disappointing that after such a good season. Odds stacked against us whether we go to Wigan or Saints though, so experience for the academy players against Warrington probably just as important.

Second half just underway. Latest score Hull FC 12 Warrington 16

We won 26-24, finished 3rd & will face Saint Helens.

Excellent news. Saints will be a very tough ask, they are W19 L5 for the season.

To finish third in the U19s is a great achievement but of course the moaners will have nothing to say about it.

Agreed on all points.



That's a brilliant result in this context:

@dan_the18thman: No Logan, Fash, Downs, Abdull, Lancaster, Bower, Tyson-Wilson, or Liggins today. Smith also an unused sub. Huge effort that by Hull.

I hope they play their strongest team in the play offs

Good result considering player we have missing due to injuries and 1st team calls against very big side.
i thought under 19's meant under 19 years of age. Think Lee Briers interpretation must be under 19 stones.

It was freezing cold but a good turnout for the last ever home Under19's game saw a great ding dong match which we trailed 16-6 at half time, I don't know what Horney says at half time to these lads but on several occasions they have come out in the second half when they looked as if they were on the end of a drubbing and really fired as was the case today. Great performance though by an FC team that looked way smaller than the Warrington outfit good to see Lee Briers there too.
