The Warrington hooker would be Ryan Maneely who was very impressive for England v France U16's on Tuesday.

Wigan beat Crusaders easily at U15 and U16 level scoring over 50 points in both games, but watch out for the U15 Crusaders left wing. He scored a fabulous wingers try from 60 metres out beating several Wigan players with real pace .
Well worth looking out for.

They also have a right winger in the U16's who is vary fast (a dark skinned lad) you can't miss him.

Mods if you think that appears racist (it isn't meant to be) please feel free to change the wording.

Looks like you have a good side there.

Was at this game myself and watched the 2 that followed and can say how impressed i was with most of the Saints youngsters. I agree Ollie Davies, Joe Ryan and Tom Calland all led from the front and thought that Adam Saunders had an great game at Full Back. I have watched most of the U15's since they were U7's all be it at different times due to my son playing. I would just like to point out that Dave Hewitt is a class act and any team would miss his ball handling skills and kicking game, but he has played most of his rugby at stand off for the last 12/18 months and not Full Back. Great team performance though and the future looks bright for Saint...keep up the good work boys..!!!

Both U15's and 16's play at LSH tomorrow (Sunday) against Crusaders....U15's K/O 1pm and U16's K/O 2.30pm...Your support is more than welcomed, so if your not doing anything please come down and give your support and encouragement the Saints future stars...I'm sure they'll thrive on it....

Have we any news how the boys have got on today?

Looking forward to going to watching them when time allows, looks like we have some very promising juniors.

Both teams won, however the U15's struggled. 2 new players have been signed this week in Dan Abram (Sale) and Will Weir (Warrington).

Our U16's won 50 - 4 following on from their 48-0 win last week.

Ill write the reports soon.

Ill do the U15 later as i'm confused about the scoreline was a very sloppy game.

M.O.M - Luke Thompson

Saints forwards absolutely batterd the Crusaders in both defence and attack. Luke Thompson was awesome, he is a massive unit who runs good lines and is extremly fast for the lads size. Andre Savelio was his usual destructive self with the ball and the half back pairing of Heaton and Carr did well. Was also very impressed with Matty Gee who played for the first time at this level. Saints where missing the very talented duo of Lewis Galbraith and Lewis Charnock because of injury.

Excellent win lads.

Will's been on Scholarship all season. He plays for Crosfields.

Never knew that. Was he at Warrington last year ?

Just for info Matty Gee is Jonny Lomax's cousin.

Yes, I think he was. He's a good lad,when he goes through a gap he doesn't get caught.

Was talking to someone at saints yesterday afternoon after saints v eagles and he told me Andre Savelio is one to watch.

Anyone seen him play?

How were the 4 (Martin Davies) and 5 (Adam Green) for Crusaders? Both impressed in a well beaten side v Wigan last week.

The U15s did struggle - particularly 1st half when they were losing 16-14 until the last play of the half when they scored (18-16). 2nd half was better and I made the final score 38-24.

M.O.M - Adam Saunders

Very scrappy game for Saints still missing the excellent David Hewitt because of injury and Dom Elkin and Jed Mawdsley because of Saddleworth reaching the Oldham final. Rob Harmon and Oliver Davies provided the hard yards while Adam Saunders was excellent at the back, slotting into the line in attack and looking very fast and skillfull. Lots of improvement needed if we're to beat Widnes at Thatto Heath on Saturday.

Didn't see much of the under 15's game, but the 16's looked pretty good in attack and defence. One try conceeded in two games and close to a hundred points scored. Keep it up lads.

Good to see Daniel Abram playing Rugby League, i remember reading that Rugby Union were after him.

Chorley Panthers fall within the Lancashire Service Area. It's a bit misleading as it covers teams from Leyland, Chorley, Blackpool, Heysham and West Craven (these were the only teams involved when I was coaching - maybe Accrington now, if they have a junior setup).

Dave Hewitt is playing tommorow for Saints U15 his first game back from injury.

He is starting on the bench.

Obsessive....seems to me your a bit obsessed with Dave Hewitt having mentioned him in most of your posts on this topic, i.e "missing" him in both games so far and now his return in tomorrows game. I agree with you he is a talented player and a great prospect, but the team doesn't revolve around just him. It just seems to me your putting added pressure on his young shoulders. This is by no means a gripe or anything its purely my opinion.

Dave is the most exciting player I have seen for years. I can't wait to see him in action. I heard big things about him so went and seen it for myself, he is a very talented lad.

Both teams stay unbeaten after easy victories over Widnes. Match reports to follow....

Apparently Mark Percival scored on the last play of the game to win it for the under 18's, sounds like a great game.
