On October 17th 2 wakey v cas amateur games.
Stanley rangers v Lock lane.
Fryston v Sharlston.
Should be 2 great games

Stanley Rangers 10's lost their first game of the season 32-22 away to Stanningley. Appaling conditions for both teams, we were right in the game till the last 5 mins when they scored two late tries. Not as physical as i expected, and thought coach/players/parents etc conducted themselves very well. We were missing two of our best players and think it showed in the end. Was probably the worst we have played this season, and still only just missed out, so some encouragement can be taken from that.

oh....and to top it all, after the game JJB came into the clubhouse, and we had to listen to him talking about going to the GF next week..........

naucious to say the least

I reckon it's time for adult, impartial referees at u12 level. If we're going to be competitive (which at u12 we're supposed to be) we need proper referees instead of kids who are going to be swayed by the home crowd. I realise that they've got to learn how to referee a game but can't kids who want to be refs get their experience from refereeing the younger ones in tandem with a refereeing course or something? If it's a question of cost then I don't know ...

the problem is adults dont want to ref because they get so much crap off parents/adults.maybe its just time people showed respect to whoever the ref is.its not an easy job know matter how old you are!

Agree with the sentiment, trouble is that even at under 8 and 9's parents give the ref stick for decisions they make. Like you said before, ref's have to learn the game aswell, but some people don't want to give them the opportunity.

I think being a ref seems far easier then it actually is & i commend anyone for doing it especially at junior level.

It must be really difficult for a coach to ref, they have to be impartial, but often lean towards the visiting team a little.

What i would like to see is us playing to the same rules every week.

Sometimes we play handover if a player goes into touch, some see it as a tackle, some penalize for high tackles, some don't.

sad to say that we haven't got a game to play this weekend because Methley under 12s have folded it was local derby that they was always up for, I hope the lads move on to another club rather than sit at home on the xbox 360

our next match is a week on sunday against selby warriors in the cup so if anybody got some info

joking

Wasn't that game a bit tasty?

How big is Matty, Crigg's number 11,
