to be fair many parents , me included long for a return to winter so its easy isnit it?


Have the bl@@dy galas in : NOVEMBER!

Back from Shaw cross and got 2 for one tonight

The under 10 SC Sharks Beating Stanningley Quite convivence 46-0 but hats of the the Leeds crew who still had spirit right until until the ref blew for F/T

At the other side of the pitch The Shaw Cross 12s Narrowly beat Cas Panthers with a score line of 30-24 or so i'm told by 2 lads who couldn't agree . although the sharks did win .

Feel happy for the sharks but little down for Rob who puts his all into his team and has had loads of luck this half of the season but just bad unfortunately .

just heard some sad news , to the guy concerned good luck and all the best particular for you lad hes a fantastic player imho

It is very true that I have stepped down has head coach at cas panthers u12s.there are a few reasons for this but the main one is purely and simply due to work commitments.

Over the past 5 years I've made some very good friends and always given it everything sometimes which has meant my family have suffered,I still remain at the panthers has a parent supporter of the team and I look forward to watching the team progress.

The club is actively searching for a mew we coach anybody interested should contact the club ASAP.

Can fully empathise with some of your sentiments. Best of luck for the future mate.

Best of luck to you Rob I know you love coaching the Panthers so it won't have been an easy decision for you!!!! - I am sure all the East Hull lads will be wishing the Cas High lads the best in the capital next month.
No doubt we will get a chance to have a beer or two after the summer break.

would just like to say that probably the best coach in the under 12's is the lad at shaw cross..only had 14 lads all season, now down to 12 and they beat cas panthers with 10 lads..they play great rugby all across the field and all the lads are well drilled..lacking in size but they play great rugby ! well done shaw cross for this season! also imho eastmoor and siddal who didn't want to play in the first division should have been told to play there! (attempting glory hunting in lower division??) stanley had steep learning curve this year with 9 lads who had never played rugby before but are improving..looking forward to season starting again and lock lane gala.
also hoping the standard of refs improves because at times they have been a joke!

all the best to all under 12's and hope the kids have a great summer break!

a little controversial IMHO to start picking out who's the best as we only see our own on training days etc and how they deal with day to day things.

yes Shaw cross did a fantastic job , but sometimes attitudes of parents need addressing. i stress this from my time as a parent and as a coach .

a coach fully needs backing from the parents and i have never seen the like as at crigg 12s and there you have IMHO the finest most humble yet anonymous coach in the 12s .

now its in the open rob , we meant every word of the pm . goodluck to your family n jake

James is a fantastic coach and a top guy has are the majority of coaches I've come across,the job is far easier when you've not has many Players to have to fit in.

I bow my hat to all the coaches they are a special breed who are often given a hard time for there efforts.

Weve 23 players (but as with many teams, you wouldnt know it by the injuries we've had) and started with 11 three years ago in group 4. It is a real challenge and we've probably taken development over the odd result, but for me not having a lad in the team it's probably easier to be impartial!

Firtsly can I say from everyone involved with Cas Panthers thank you Rob and im glad your staying involved at the Panthers, A true gent and great rugby man.

Secondly Can I thank Stanley Rangers for a wonderfull day yesterday, The Under 11s tournament was a great day out helped by the fact Cas Panthers won, Welll done Ian and all who helped out.

Eastmoor Dragons annual Junior gala takes places this weekend with the 12’s and 13’s playing on Saturday and the 8’s and 11’s on Sunday. The action takes place from around 10 and will go on until mid afternoon so please feel free to catch some of the games in what should be an entertaining festival of rugby.
Unfortunately we have had a couple of under 12’s teams drop out so if anybody knows of a team that would like come along please get in touch by using the contact details on the Eastmoor website within the under 12’s section.
Thanks

What a ridiculous comment to make regarding Eastmoor Dragons being made to play in the first Division. During the shortened winter season we played 10 league fixtures in the top flight and won only 1 game so were clearly struggling. If you look at the Division 2 table you will see that we have won only 1 game more than we’ve lost so are playing at the right level – hardly glory hunting. Children at the age of 12 should always be playing at the correct competitive level where possible to encourage participation. Playing in the top division and getting heavily beaten is doing neither side any good

"ridiculous?" stanley, oulton and shaw cross all were in the second division in the mini season! you beat stanley in a cup game! yes YOU should have played in the first divison as well as siddal should have..and as for playing at the "correct competitive level!" lets have a first division of 2 then, a second of 4 and so on! YOU should have played in the division you were first selected in as should siddal and as per previous years adjustments are made through the season as the 13's this year with sandal etc...face facts!
