the stanley rangers under 9s remain unbeaten after a 20-8 win at hunslet , no goal posts for conversions

. the team no take a well earned break .

the 8s almost got victory after leading against wetherby but ended up losing 4-2 ...unlucky boys but it will come

churwell chiefs u10s 14 cas panthers u10s 14

cas apnthers u8s 4 east leeds u8s 4

cas panthers u9s 32 east leeds u9s 4

a good run out from us two weeks running now weve only conceded 1 try so defencivly we have been pretty good,two weeks rest now before we take on eastmoor dragons which will be a very tough game has both are regarded has the top two teams at u9s level.

another good win for stanley a step up the leagues looks likely now mutley

maybe , although Stanley have already played East Leeds



are cas still unbeaten?

yes still unbeaten,we played east leeds today because drigg couldnt raise a team and they had there game cancelled aswell.we gave some of the fringe players a lot of game time today and saw it has a chance to give a few players a bit of a rest. east leeds never gave in and had one or two decent players.

been told today that there could be a return to mini league for u9s after xmas because there is too many scores getting out of hand especially in groups 2,3,4 hopefully the fixture secratary will get teams in the right groups and keep the mod rules,imo you cannot penalise the good because the poor cant keep pace although it does nobody any good when teams are miles apart.

your if they don't keep the team's even they can quite easily get disheartened, could lose a good player being constantly on the wrong side of a drumming

quite right snowie and i just feel changing back to mini league rules is the easy option rather than sitting down and working out which teams need to be playing one another.

i think they have got the majority of teams in group 1 right with the exception of oulton and fev lions who are struggling a little but the other 6 are all very competative with every team beating one another.

our league has changed a bit, in comes normy and crigg , out goes lock lane and up for cas panthers, we now have a week off

that would be barmy imo because they will come back in march to play mini for 3 months then back to mod

although your right with the doing no one any good when teams are miles apart.

Normanton Knights U18's v Stanley Rangers U18's.

11.45 ko Sunday 26/10/08.

At the Graveyard.

I know its coming to halloween soon but who woke you up

i know Q E D is bad but !!!

oh yeah i forgot about st johns WMC

Crigg All Blacks U9's beat Eastmoor U9's at the weekend 24-20 in an excellent hard fought match. Crigg started the game well, but Eastmoor came back strong in the second half with Crigg just holding on for their first win over Eastmoor in several meetings at U8/9 level.

a great win for crigg,gadgett and warren were really keen to get one over eastmoor has they owed them one from last years final loss.

nice to see another club come on here

Yeah, remember that one. Everyone but the (Eastmoor) ref had seen the lad go in touch before they scored the winning try!

I've just come back from a meeting where we have discussed the situation about a lad at our club, (not our year) how he had an injury to his leg, the cut as you can see in the picture below (which has been down scaled as I don't what the full size one on) was a very nasty cut, the lad had also three days in hospital due to an infection.
The incident was caused by blade football/rugby boots and we have decided to not use these type of boots at our age.
Now I don't want to scare monger, but I do want you to as parents be aware of your children's boots, kids tend not to bother taking any care into maintenance never mind clean them, one of the worst is walking on tarmac/concrete which can lead to sharp edges on studs and blades,

one thing that tends to get over looked is the inspection at the start of the game, which we intend to make sure that it is checked for the safety of our as well as you kids on the pitch, so if you come across a situation where a player has poor quality boots that could cause injury please remember the photo of this lads leg.

I would like to add this is to warn readers on this forum who have children playing as do, and its not in anyway just post a gross picture,

If the forum mods have any problem with photo please remove it, but I thought as a parent of a lad that plays I would of like to be informed.

the photo is being passed round the junior leagues .. Stanley have banned the said boots

thats very worrying,my lad plays in nomis bladed boots in the summer but will revert back to studs once the pitches get heavy,his nomis boots have been the best pair he`s ever had and they are a rugby boot and not a football boot.

i think the bottom line is that all boots should be checked for sharp edges which seems to be overlooked at times. it just seems unfortunate that its bladed boots thats caused this injury.

my sentiments exactly, walking on hard surface the main culprit, as parents we should take on board to check them our selves with them present and not rely on the kids, they will then get used to the idea.

I used to check mine as a kid always screwing the studs in and out moving them around

but then we didn't have xbox 360 in my days

my lad plays in moulded rubber studs on dry ground, he found that the blades were heavy on the legs and the rubber ones were much lighter, he seemed to think he was quicker aswell.

stanley rangers under 11s are back on the road traveling tomorrow to normington knights ko 11-30, expecting a close game and a cold one too

cas panthers u10s v normanton knights sat 10.30

cas panthers u9s v eastmoor dragons u9s sun 10.30

oulton raiders u8s v cas panthers u8s sun 10.30

cold mornings and muddy pitches from now till christmas i cant wait

will try to make that one boys training at 10

as expected it was a close game we lost 12-8, the ref was disappointing but then playing the first half 30 mins then the second 18 and blowing up at the end after normingtons try you can understand it , they have a small sized team that tackles above the weight and came up quick in defense, who ever has taught them that its paying off as it restricted our attack and didn't get off the ground. in all the teams were evenly matched and showed in the result.
