Between the players they were at it before they started on Saturday but after talking to the young un after it turns out it is always the same kid who wants more of the ball even though he gets it probably twice a set,every set,the problem there being he is the coaches favourite with everything that comes with that and also his dad shouting on the sidelines that he should get even more ball.This in turn is causing an underlying tension between the parents.

This ones going to be a tricky one to sort out if the coach can't see that its splitting the team, and the parent isn't approachable.
I would be tempted to mention to the coach that it is a team event

I've been there and still watch certain players even now monopolise the ball but it doesn't stop your lad developing.
I've always taught my lad to look for the break away and follow in their trail hoping for that pass, they tend to look mighty foolish keeping that ball when an open chance goes begging.

think its summet that happens in all ages of junior rugby my lad plays at u8s and parents a always saying its same collective two or three that gets most of the ball and there probally right i know why its done cos there generally better players and a coach (who is in the middle at that age) will always look to his better players to get them away from own try line or get over the whitewash esp when losing at the time but i can see and understand why the parents find it unfair as its the same with subbing.i say this as a parent of lad who is always in top three of ball carries but in top three of tackles too

Panthers 12s host oulton Vikings tommorow looking to build on last weeks good performance at crigglestone,the panthers will have to Cope without 3 good players but that's life you play with the cards you are dealt.

Stanley Rangers u14s travel to Normanton Knights on sunday crowned champions so the pressures off but will still be a good derby match ko 10-30

We've got West Bowling away tomorrow - we put a big score on them last time, but I understand they've improved a lot since then, so it should be an interesting one.

Panthers 12s beat oulton Vikings 30-4 with another solid performance,oulton were far from there best but tackled well on there own line for long periods.for the panthers missing players in key areas again took another step in the right direction.

A very lacklustre performance by The Spartans away to a resurgent West Bowling this morning, for the 2nd week running the lads were very subdued.
Like last week, a better but not great second half display got the job done.

West Bowling 4 Vs 50 Sandal Spartans

Eastmoor Dragons under 12’s travelled to Newsome Panthers today and were beaten 22-12 in a physical, and at times scrappy game. I think the referee left his whistle in the changing room as he struggled to get both teams to retrieve 10 metres and failed to penalise numerous infringements at the play the ball. This contributed to the flow of the game and left players on both teams frustrated and confused. However the effort was certainly there from the Dragons but at times they lacked the application.
Unfortunately we only had 13 players today and would therefore welcome any year 8 schoolboy to our training sessions on a Tuesday and Thursday at 6.30. Anybody who wants to give rugby a go for the first time or somebody wanting to get back into the game or fancies a change of club is more than welcome to sample junior rugby at the Dragons Den

blime sponge , its a lot more than that from the old dears that open up the club houses at the crack of dawn (ground frost n all) to the last one in after open age as gone and the ashtrays are tempted its a big effort.

a little hot air let out from the touch line but for those not there all parents were stood together and mixed , think i will leave it at that.

hope your recruitment goes well, come on mums n dads with lads doing nowt from all ages wakefield clubs are the best and shaw cross
