Eastmoor Dragons have had some interest in setting up an Under 16’s (school year 11) for the 2013 junior summer Season. We already have several teams at the club and therefore this would add to our junior development. If anybody is interested in joining a new team as either a player or coach please contact the junior secretary on 07979381819. All welcome

Crigg A B Under 12s are almost there
. This weekend they went to Leeds to stanningley and although missing around 5 players stlll came through pretty unscaved .

My lad rounding off great week playing 13 and 6 at school being told by the head best player on the park to getting man of steel this weekend . It's amazing how the crigg lads stand up when needed, thanks for the text.

If crigg beat lock lane they have won all 4 trophies unbeaten

Thanks and welldone to the best backroom and coaching team in junior rugby, never send a kid away

It's going to be a busy off-season!

Stanley Rangers 7's came up with in my opinion their best performance of the season on Saturday morning away at Kippax, winning 8 tries to 1. Its a joy to watch these kids develop.

Massive credit to Emma King on how these lads have come along.

eastmoor u8s drew with cas lock lane side that had won 28 on trott on sunday and had it not been for the barmy new rules brought in by the rl eastmoor would of won.nether the less it was a cracking gam,e with some big hits all players on both teams should be proud of them selves


on the new rules dont know if anybody on here are involved up yo u 10s (i believe )but what happens now is the team will have the ball for 6 tackles regardless of weather they drop the ball run into touch or anything they just carry.i think its wrong and not teaching kids importance of keeping the ball

The new rules for the kids are a joke and cause them real confusion, it also rewards negative play, very strange idea by the RFL to introduce these.

I can actually see the benefit being that the kids are not afraid to make mistakes and the opposite could well happen with the play more positive because of this.

after dissagree i watch it every week kids are just running into touch to save been tackled and are just happy to let the ball go when it comes to them having to play by the propper rules they will be confused

the rules will take us back years , the refs get it hard enough as it is .
its all so little timmy twinkle doesnt cry when he drops the ball forgetting that tommy tarazan may of just belted a rockon tackle.

from 1 junior ref and 1 junior coach (you know

) and a SL ref they all hate it .

sorry seth , can not agree on this one and a mare to referee pal

Kids afraid to make mistakes have a poor coach in my opinion.

It is not about wining or losing it is about the kids developing the core skills which in my opinion these new rules do not.
