The Becketts game was a pretty memorable one as was the cas one for the young un once again being asked to "stay behind" but the 14s kick off this weekend and this year is a big one for the lads who have ambition.

dreams can be made but its only 14s there's still another. 3 years i know that one lad mention no names on here as been told to forget about football and go up to the all black's . That's after the cas game.

its goes to show you only have to be lucky once for someone to be there at the right time.

really? clubs should not be approaching anyone in year 9 and def not signing them up until Yr10

Players have been selected to attend a monthly 14s 'school of excellence' though not signing official papers. I did the Leeds one a few years ago and the idea is to identify talent for 15s and give the players a feel for that environment.

I got my years mixed up - they are in fact year 10's. My bad.

My bad.....Are you one of those homies? Or summat?

Scouts will whatsoever the rules try to get in first , sometimes its better to weigh up options.
any decent agents lol .

imho its a crying shame that we don't have the 12s at service but apparently costs in Wakefield area have forced the councils hand.
although. Of course being a hot bed of football and shoot put monies is put aside in this direction.

The big un played for a year above yesterday at crofton high playing against one of his club teammate's. Didn't see the match and by all accounts it was a sound win by the crofton year 10s . But what a shame that year 9s are having to fill in .

From what im told they both handled the bigger boys with ease but both have the luxury of being war of the roses champions.

Ossett Academy Vs St Wilfreds

Year 10 Result

Ossett Academy 18 Vs 8 St Wilfreds

A tough uncompromising game between two good teams. Ossett had a large number of regulars missing and could only field 13 players (no subs).
Ossett also had to call on no less than 6 year 9s who all played the full game and acquitted themselves very well. Wilfred's were also missing a couple of regulars but they were soundly outplayed throughout the game with Ossett having 3 tries dissalowed.

The game was played to a very high standard and both teams take great credit for that.

Are Ossett the former Sandal? Sorry to have to ask. I do like to dip into this thread to see what all you proud dads/coaches are up to, but it's only an occasional foray.

Sandal Spartans are now just Spartans RLFC and are a community club playing in the Yorkshire Junior League.
Ossett Academy is a school, the above result Vs St Wilfred's is that of a school fixture

That's a good result wilfs are a very good team at yr 10,my lad played up a year a couple of weeks ago for cas academy against them,the game finished 34-14 to cas but it was uncompromising to say the least but the two lads that were asked to play up a year both had good games and I'd like to think it will help take their game to another level.

We handled it well

Got Upton in the next round, any info appreciated
