We couldn't field a team - we've had dreadful luck with injuries this season; several lads out long term with broken bones and another one bit the dust with a badly sprained ankle mid-week. On top of that, a couple more away on holiday meant that we had no choice. Gutted.

I did explain all this to your coach by the way.

Again YJARL fixtures secretaries excelling in their ability to organise a brewery trip without a glass in sight


Easter is traditionally one of the holidays that people go away in along with spring bank and the summer, a little thought for those that are participating in the sport wouldn't go a miss IMO

In fairness, we could have coped with just the holiday absentees - it's the injuries wot done us. We're like Hull FC at the moment; if we were on Sky, I would expect Eddie to precede every mention of Spartans with the words 'injury ravaged.'

Im surprised that pepole are surprised at the YJL but tbf ifvwe never played over school holiday periods then we may as well go back to winter

Rumour has it that Stanley Rangers u15's have pulled out of their game with Oulton Rangers u15's this weekend because one player is injured!!

Nice to see camaraderie in a youth side between parents and coaches when the parents support the coaches decision to postpone a game so that their key player can recouperate.

We've still got 7 missing this weekend but can cobble a side together in order to fulfull our fixture at Upton (never an easy place to go).

well that's news to me, I very much doubt that is true as to my knowledge the only player that has an injury is my lad who is hope to get back to light training this week so I'd shoot that pigeon if I was you

A very welcome win in the league for the panthers 13s after beating shaw cross 12-26,league performances have been good this year and pleased that the lads finnally got just rewrds for their efforts with a very dominant performance.

Not many teams will go to shaw cross this year and come away with the points, great to see the Panthers get reward for being so close so many times.

I got shot down , wrongly although yet again if I trod on toes then sorry I thought but I really do hope the Panthers kick on from here. To many good players in the team and even going back to my crigg under 8 days my fave away club etc.

Wonder if they are still on the verge on building the team up

Shaw Cross Sharks. 11s travelled to birstall Victoria to keep their own unbeaten run going and try to end Victoria s even longer unbeaten run after a nip n tuck 1st half the sharks trailed by 2 at half time but a far better team defense and effect in the 2nd half so the sharks score 3 tries to 1 and take the match 30-16

The top group looms for the sharks just as the seeding for the divions will take place.

Well done Daz and the team

Crigg 13s still unbeaten and from what I hear staningley were never going ti threaten the streak.

Spartans went to Upton and won a very tough and uncompromising yet high quality game by 16-18.

The match was marred by another Spartans player breaking a bone, the 7th this season.

If you need a RL fix this weekend, Spartans play only their 2nd home game of the season on Sunday
