| Quote: The Clan "Ive been working at Outwood Grange for the last six months and have got to know Mr Barker very well, those who attended OGA probably remember him as he's been a PE teacher there for 33 years.
We've had a couple of conversations about how sport has changed over the last 30+ years and it is he who has told me how Rugby League was never a priority at the school, that it was always soccer until the last ten years or so.
With the opening of a new £3M sports hall to add to the already very good amenities and the promise of more new facilities in the near future the school is going to produce some very good sportsmen and women for decades to come.'"
Mr Barker has been there a few years he was more into soccer I was there 85-90 and he was there then, had a brain tumour I think and has recovered well. Mr Smith always took us for Rugby not sure if he's still there but we always had a team, school finals always played at Belle Vue, big thrill as a Trinity fan to play on the famous pitch. Always on a week day night end of season and we got use of the Trinity changing room |

Dissapointing thing having attended Ossett School many years ago was how little rugby was offered there. I heard tales of Ossett School vs North Ossett School rugby game a few years before I joined had turned into a mass fight and they took rugby off the curriculum then. It was a shame as I'm sure most of the year groups could have fielded a half decent team at junior level. Only player in my year who did anything was a mate of mine who was on Halifax's books at the same time Chris Chester was on. He ended up joining the RAF I think and played for them instead of making it with any of the English Clubs. Only other player to come out of the school tha I know of is Alex Bretherton who is with Batley at the moment.

| I Quote: The Clan "The McDermotts spent the majority of their years on Townley Rd, on the junction with Waterton Rd, living in two houses knocked into one to accommodate all of them. They all attended English Martyrs before going on to St Austins when the family moved to College Grove. They all then attended St Thomas a Becketts with exception of Patrick who had all the brains and went to QEGS.

Matthew was in my team. Good player, was just too small compared to everybody else. Good lad. Tackled well above his weight.
Was it Chris who played for Wakefield Colts. If its him I'm thinking of he once played fullback at Belle Vue and instead of catching a high ball he headed it over the deadball line.
We should count George as a StaB product. Can't spell his second name of course but he was a pretty good winger.

| im suprised nobody has mentioned freeston their have been a number of players that have done well from their not all wakey players granted but it is still a wakefield school,am i right in thinking the conway brothers were both freeston players.
has is cas and airdale high`s who have both produced international players for years.  the most notable for me been neither a wakey or cas player in andy goodway who was imo one of the best 13`s in the world during his time. |

Suppose you can add Ryan Hampshire to that list too. Getting a lot of rave reviews from Wigan fans.

The year I was in at Royds didn't do bad either. Bryn Powell, Jamie Thackray and Ryan Hudson all played Super League.
