phew! what a match , best team i have seen crigg play bar none this year

cas panthers dream is over for another year after going down 10-16 against east hull in a bruising emcounter in which both teams can be proud of their effort.

after conceding a early score we settled down and controlled the remainder of the first half and scored two lovely tries to go in 10-6 at half time,full credit to east hull who knuckled down in the second half and we gifted them the field positon to which they scored two good tries to take the lead, but the game was in the balance for the remainder of the game with some punishing defence on show from both teams

its without doubt the toughest hardest u12s game ive ever seen and i feel that both teams will have mutual respect for each other in the future.the east hull parents players and coaches were a pleasure to meet.

fantastic weekend for the Stanley Rangers semi finalists in the barla cup with both teams playing Skirlaugh Bulls

the under 15s beat Skirlaugh Bulls 18-0 in a fiery encounter which was played before our game, the brawl that happened lead to the high tensioned in our under 14s game.

having played a friendly earlier in the year it was far from the same game and the damp foggy weather lead to a more even game.

Stanley playing up hill and had most of the possession and managed to breach their defense half way into the half but failed to convert it.
the amount of times that we had runs on their line but failed to just get over would of frustrated most coaches and to make it worse Skirlaugh then capitalised on a error to level the scores seconds before half time a small fracas kicked off leading to our major play maker being sin binned.

the second half went along in same manner no side taking much advantage of the other sides errors.
finally my lad managed to force is way over in the corner and take the score to 8-4 and that is how the score finished.

needles to say I've no nails left after such a close game, I'd rather see games play like this than roller over teams

Oh and well done to Normy beating Oulton and take top spot in the league, we will be gunning to catch up

Blimey Charlie ...what a morning/day that's been!
Did our usual & started off slowly , but that may be harsh on Wyke because they were definitely up for it and were very impressive right from the off . It all looked over at half time tbh at 12-4 , but our lads seemed to find some self belief from somewhere and ended up winning 22-12 ( 5 tries to 2).It was a tremendous comeback in what i'd say was the hardest game that i've seen them play in a long time ( if ever ) , but once they'd got their noses in front they looked like they were on top & weren't going to give the game away .
The Wyke players , coaches & parents were an absolute credit to their club - even in defeat they were full of humour & wished us all the best in the final


Feel sorry that Cas Panthers are out - hope Braytons got some tips for us on who to look out for now though


Hope we can do our league proud in the final .
By the way , i've never felt so nervous/ sick watching a game in my life - god knows how they ALL played so well

Westgate wolves through to Yorkshire cup final.best team performance so far to beat East hull 22 . 4. Well done to all the squad,and a special well done to my lad Jordan who had an immense game in the forwards line.an all Wakey final,can't be bad.played at the famous Belle Vue on the 11 of December.

sorry to hear this rob a panthers/crigg final would of been great , congrats to Russ and his team of 12s and another hard match for them with west hull . if east hull make it to belle vue they have done it the hard way.

and likewise the players , parents , club reps and supporters of wyke were a credit to the the sport.

i heard that mutts young un got around 6 penalties for foul play applied mainly to his neck . im no statistician but that sounds very marked particular for a child recovering from a neck injury .

makes you wonder what kind of person told the player to attack his neck



Good job Austin is placid and will accept piggybacks all day long.

don't know what you have against crigg/ketty
