Stanley Rangers U12's lost to East Leeds today, 30-6; Stanley started the game the better side, but heads went down after conceding a try against the run of play, and it went downhill from there. Been an unsttled period recently in terms of coaching and personnel, so no great surprise - got some rebuilding to do.

Apart from a couple of nasty punching incidents by East Leeds lads, they played a solid match and on performance, deserved to win.

wakey not the only team who have been hit with housing issues of late , Stanley younger groups ie.. 8s & 9s ect are at risk of losing the little field they play on .

this alerted my eldest to proudly announce that if he no ground to play on next year he would play for .........





SANDAL R[size U[/size F C




mind you he good principles at heart ......no way would he play for crigg or eastmoor...but UNION is there a ballet school around here?


Should be OK i think

I blame the parents !

the council are cutting back on all playing fields with increased rent for those that remain,which is a real shame when it gives kids a place to go.

i always remember stanley ferry has the first place i kicked a touchline conversion has a 10 year old,at the time it was like kicking it from the touchline at wembley only now i realise how small the pitch is

coach lane snowie tears up like a wet pair of paper knickers

i took offence at first , but then phoned my mum up and blamed my dad

Stanley Rangers U13s Barla semi final this weekend against Normy Knights

great game that could of gone either way

Stanley Rangers U13 have reached the of the Barla cup final beating a much improved from the last time we played Normanton Knights side 12-2,

Normanton took the lead with a penalty early in the first half after us enduring a long session of intense pressure, it proved to be blessing that they didn't keep up the momentum as we could of easily cracked, 0-2 half time.

second half we took control with two converted tries but it was far from over as the knights didn't give up, to their credit they pushed to the final whistle.



Well done lads
