Stanley beat crigg this morning 32-28 in another cracking game with a big to both teams . A slow start from crigg letting in 2 early tries but after that it was a real nail biter . Definitely two contrasting styles with Stanley going more down the middle using the big lads to crigg trying to get it to the faster, smaller lads .
No complaints about the result , the only sour note was the young ref who seems to be in the wrong job to me - big attitude problem , I'll leave it at that , just hope he reads his respect leaflets etc . before next week !

Really felt for the poor girl trying to talk to the ref after the game, it wasn't good to see, hope she's ok?

Yes thanks & she'll be made up that you've called her a girl ! As a child welfare officer was concerned about the referees behaviour mainly towards one of our players who ended up in tears after questioning a decision - he completely lost his rag and I thought he was going to hit her . But it's been reported and I hope he learns from it because he's not going to last long as a ref with that attitude .
Thanks for your concern anyway - she's had a couple of glasses of wine tonight & has returned to normal !

nice one ernie

Cheers mate !

sounds like he` thinks he`s the entertainment not the kids, refs like this never last long a good ref goes un-noticed.

looking forward to next weeks game it will be another nice change to play a team we havent played 15 times over the past 3 years.if you could pm with the contact number of who i need to contact to organise the game it would be appretiated.thanks...

westgate under 16s 18 wyke 10, both teams making a lot of errors. poor game from the man in charge, but westgate still unbeaten

missed out on a good win due to work today Stanley Rangers U13s traveled to Newsome Panthers and won 40 -12 well done lads back to winning ways

cas panthers u11 went down 22-38 to crigglestone,an awful start by us but full credit to crigg who built up a 26-4 lead before we started playing something like what we can but in the end you cannot give teams that kind of start.

nice to meat "earnie" spongebob its always nice to put a face to a name thought your kids were very solid right across the field and had a player that we couldnt or didnt want to tackle.

good luck for the coming weeks.

Yes - good to meet you yesterday Rob (a bit slow with the reply - went out last night & felt a bit "delicate "earlier!) , like you say , nice to be able to put a face to a name .
Great game yesterday , we started off well & have to say all over the park i thought we tackled really well . Some great passing though from the Cas lads through out the whole team , i think i said that was how we train but don't quite have the confidence to do it in a game yet - was really good to watch , some good coaching there .
Thanks for the info at the end of the game Rob - may be a case of mistaken identity though - i'll p.m. you when i hear anything.
Cheers

hes not that good looking
