Quote: Saintly Warrior "Saints start this years Scholarship programme at Thatto Heath on Saturday where we will entertain Hull at U15 and U16 level. Our U16's went unbeaten last year at U15 level beating Crusaders, Whitehaven, Salford, Wigan and Warrington in the process. So as a team they're still unbeaten. As for our new crop at U15 level we have some good players so hopefully we can achieve the same success.
Im going to use this thread to keep you updated about the results and try scorers as i'll be going all the games.
Players to look out for at U15 level
David Hewitt - Bold Miners - Fullback/Standoff - unfortunately injured for the Hull game but an extremly gifted player with bags of pace.
Kane Ditchfield - Crossfields - Second row/Loose Forward - Excellent player who is currently playing for England.
Olivier Davies - Orrell St james - Second Row - Hard hitting forawrd who played for England vs Wales last week.
Joseph Ryan - Bold Miners - Prop/Second row - Massive lad for his age and won Warringtons player of the year at U14 level.
Adam Saunders - Thatto Heath - Loose Forward/Standoff - Good player and wins M.O.M everyweek for Heath.
Dom Elkin - Saddleworth Rangers - Fullback/Wing - Tiny player who is very elusive and powerfull for his size, got a good bif of pace.
Star players in our U16's include
Andre Savelio - Latchford - Second Row - Kiwi born monster who is currently a England youth international. Great strength and was top try scorer last year.
Lewis Gailbraith - Saddleworth Rangers - Centre - Stocky centre who is also very fast, for me he is Saints best young talent at scholarship level. Currently a England youth International.
Greg Richards - Chorley Panthers - Second Row/Prop - Monster Cumbrian who as made great progress since his Barrow days, Greg is also a Youth England International.
Ben Parry - Chorley Panthers - Fullback/Wing/Centre - Very tall and fast who once again is a England Youth International. Breaks tackles very easily.
Luke Thompson - Bold Miners - Loose Forward - Very unlucky not to make the England squad, hard as nails who will run through brick walls.
Lewis Charnock - Rylands - Loose Forward/Stand Off - unfortunately he is out for all our games this year with a Shoulder injury. Shame as he is very talented.
Some of these lads will make it for Saints so it's interesting to see how they develop as players. Good luck on Saturday lads.'"
