yes we have the cas and district cup at u12s its been drawn

garforth v cas panthers
fev lions v lock lane

fryston and townville have been given byes into the semi finals.

these games are usually played mid-week so it doesnt affect on the league games which i believe start on 3rd of sept.

yes that's correct

they tend to leave it very last minute at YJL

what a day its been today

the Stanley Rangers 14s embarked on a friendly to Skirlaugh Bulls knowing that it would be a tough test of the newly revamped side.
we over heard that that they thought we wasn't going to be a side to be recconded with coming from one of their players,,,,, oh dear me

bet they wished they was playing a different side

within 11 minute Stanley was ripping the defense apart and had a lead of 18 - nil.
this went on to half time and we held a comprehensive lead of 30 - nil.

Skirlaugh was far from been a side to give up and rallied around to take the second half 8 - 10
we had taken the foot of the pedal and we did have the resources that could of repelled a decent challenge but boy the heart and soul had been ripped from Skirlaugh within 10 mins.

Skirlaugh last season hadn't lost a game in their league so we are mighty impressed with today's game

roll on the semi final against Normy Knights

Stanley Rangers in the new kit after the game

stanley rangers under 12's for this season beat 2 cas panthers teams on saturday, well done boys!

hope the kid with the wrist injury wasn't hurt too badly, he looked in pain..hope he didn't break anything.

nothing broken just badly bruised. the same has the young lad from fryston who was taken to pinderfields on a spinal board,i think its a sign of things to come with the rock hard pitches,also saw a lad snap his arm on thursday during a u16s game between locklane and stanley.


it also seems the rfl have now give back word on the money they promised would be there for clubs to ensure pitches could be well looked after.

same old rfl! to me the only sensible way was to have a 3 month break from december to march and then resume until june! never mind tho because i can now see some kids trying out union and moving to that!

1st lot of fixtures out

Sunday 11th September 10:30 KOs

Under 14s League Div 1

Castleford Panthers v Oulton Raiders
Dewsbury Moor v Stanley Rangers
Hunslet Parkside v Normanton Knights

same old same old,rfl and barla at loggerheads over the barla cup for juniors with any team that enters the barla cup been told they cant cancel league games or they will be fined and they expect young kids to play two games in a weekend.

the stanley 12s match is off as per Friday ..shame they don't have enough players to form a team for this weekend something to do with poorly children . Crigg may of been able to organise some kind of friendly but i hopefully the YJL will let us play on wednesday if all kids are well and dare i say back from holidays.

Shame some kids are chomping at the bit at the all blacks some new signings and of course a couple of early retirements but still an healthy number of players...20+ i just hope my child gets some game time and learns under what seems a well structured set up.

any one else watching sons/daughters/family this weekend at grass roots

great to see the smallest of the clan get his new boots mucky for crigg under 8s you go eth
