The U19's are at home to Cas tomorrow (Saturday, 12.00pm) if anyone is interested in coming along. The game is at Crosfields ground.

Good excuse to avoid the clothes shopping with the missus ?

Bars open and the BBQ will be on

Chris Bridges family day as well at Monks Club from 12 could be a long day

will be a mad dash after the game to get there!!!

Interesting to see how they go without players like Sam Wilde and Toby King.

Plus long term injuries to Daniel Hirst, George Moore and Brad Stanway are going to make this a tough encounter. King was due to be back this week so I suppose there is an outside chance that TS held him back from the Wigan game to give him a bit more time to recover.

I am wondering if Simms gets a ban and is unable to play at Wakey whether Daniel Murray might get a game next week.

Per TS post Wigan ...(given we were already done to 17 including wounder) ............... Possibly lost a couple more tonight, thats the price. Some more of the kids stepping up.

The advantage of the kids playing is that they have something to aim for whether it be playing for pride in the shirt or playing for a first team chance.

I think Danny Hirst might be back today. The squad is suffering in the same way the senior team is at the minute with injuries. Doing it tough!

Wire won 30pts to 28pts.

A late penalty goal from Harvey Livett was the difference between the two teams, after Castleford came back to 28 points all.

Warrington held on in the end after an opening lead of 16 pts to nil, was clawed back by Cas.

It's a shame that most of the French players haven't arrived yet, they could've provided a timely boost.

This really was a game of two halves. In the first, Wire really took control of the game despite playing against the wind. The tackling was good, we saw (I assume) a neat pre-planned move with Harry Reardon kicking through for Jack Johnson to score, and by half time it was 22-6 with the youngsters seemingly in full control. Come the second half though we saw a big reversal of fortunes. The team failed to control the ruck and allowed fast ball to a Cas side that were more than happy to move the ball and attack. In addition, our right flank looked very porous and was constantly attacked by Cas who ran hard and found plenty of supporting players. Wire were also punished for turning their backs on Ash Robson when taking a quick 20m restart. Robson, who was a threat throughout the match, made a good 50m and his break eventually resulted in a try. When the scores were level at 28 all you would have banked on an away win, but then a silly penalty by Cas gave Livett the opportunity to take the match winning goal. Perhaps a more equitable result would have been a draw.

I don't think any player had an outstanding game, Livett and Murray were prominent, but I was impressed with Harry Reardon who only moved up from the U16's this year. He is quick, got good hands and can open up a defence with his kicks and passes.

I have to say it was a surprise to see them hanging on when I arrived after HT knowing what the score was prior.

I think it was the ANCW who asked about Peter Livett, Harvey's father. Apparently he has not coached Chester Wolves, although he does help out with another local Warry club.
