please keep up old boy PANTHERS ? see you on facebook !

Well done to everyone at Cas Panthers for putting on a great tournament today and well done every side that played in exhausting conditions.

In the under 8's age group, a special well done to Lock Lane, Townville Tigers (Easts and Wests) and Castleford Panthers for making the semi finals after a long long day. Townville Easts were beaten by Cas Panthers and Townville Wests beat Lock Lane (after extra time) and then Panthers won the final. Well done to every kid involved today! Well done to Panthers for winning and a big well done to our two Townville teams for doing so well.

Not sure how all the other age groups went on, but also let's hope the Townville player badly injured in the 10's (i think it was) is ok and not as bad as it looked.

echo what you say about the lad from the u10s first reports are that he isnt has badly hurt has first appeared,in the u10s lock lane were the winners beating knottingley in the final.

in the u9s it was cas panthers who came out on top after going all tournamant without conceding a single try which proves defences do win games,full credit to the other teams involved beaten finalists lock lane,stanley rangers,heworth and normanton knights who played two divisions above their weight but still gave a great account of themselves.

overall a fantastic day and im out on my feet but the good news is we get to do it all again next week.

Tell me about it. God knows how those kids are feeling because they played all day, Townville and Panthers u8's played 8 games, Jeez!



The point you made about teams playing against sides higher in the league. Our Townville teams did just that also, we're two leagues lower, and it is the first time they've really had to play top opposition (in Panthers and Lock Lane) in serious games so we're dead proud in what they achieved today. Two sides in the semis and one pipped in the final by a great side. Good to see the talent on show from the three local sides!

Update on the injured player is that it was a muscle spasm and has recovered now




Again thanks to Panthers esp the the guy who looked after Brad when he got injured !!
See you all at Lock Lane Sunday

Aye, good to hear it wasn't as bad as some of the rumours doing the rounds at the time.

Stanley Rangers under 15s

Congratulations on wining the 9 a side rugby tournament at Eastmoor on sunday, well done.

Good news about the lad that was injured. Everyone there on the day was concerned.

The Normanton lads were all a bit disappointed that they couldn't sneak a win in the comp but it was always gonna be unlikely as Brayton says they were playing sides who are 2 divisions higher and were also subject a 'bit of treatment' in one of the games (head high stuff at U-9s) is disgraceful....

A great day out and hopefully the Knights will be able to grace the stage again next year.

Well done to everyone involved in the organisation



Also pleased that the young lad who was injured is OK!!!

Well done to Lock Lane for putting on a great tournament today. The weather just about was ok in the end which was a blessing.

Firstly well done to Oulton for winning the under 8's tournament, a very good team! But an even bigger well done (ok it's my lads team) to Townville Tigers under 8's. For the second week running were pipped in the final (after extra time!) and today showed some of the big boys in the league that just because we've been playing in the third division, we deserved to be at that tournament today. Some people really did underestimate our lads and were dealt a massive shock when we kept beating the bigger teams from the top division (and comfortably too). Our kids got a lot of stick before hand and there were some sarcastic comments from adults (tut tut) but there was only one bunch of lads smiling come the end (and Oulton of course). So well done Townville on another great effort!

i second all that marshman and would like to point out that both Lock Lane and Oulton were very supportive of us and a big thanks to them. The whole objective of us entering the 2 tournaments was to test ourselfs against the top sides of the Yorkshire league and prove our bid to gain entry into the top division, I think we more than did that on every level another big thanks to Cas Panthers and Lock Lane for allowing us to do this > And a massive well done to All Townville under 8s Players Staff and Parents its been a hard year but hope you can all see the direction we a going in
