Well Stanley Rangers U14s reached the Wakefield cup final today beating Normanton knights 28 - 10.

it wasn't the walk in the park as they might have expected as Normy came with a fantastic attitude to ship the ball from side to side, their hard work from the start paid off when they took a deserved lead.

Stanley's efforts wasn't making any impression as mistakes was costing them field position, by the end of the first half they had manage to claw them selves back into game with two converted tries to hold a 12-6 lead.
With having to then play uphill they moved the score along slowly to make all the scoreline flattering.

While I feel that Stanley hadn't put on the display in what we all know that they can do, it must be also congratulated that Normanton did in the first half look the better team.

Upton beat Crigg 20-10 to make a Stanley Rangers v Upton final

first league game of the season for the stanley rangers 14s we travel to hunslet parkside on sunday KO 10-15

this will be a test for the new lads to see if they can meet up to what was a very good side for the last two seasons as its time to shake that monkey off their backs having not beaten them,
mind you it was pretty close last time we met

trekking off to Westgate Wolves tonight as Stanley Rangers U15s are playing and my lad wants to go watch,

I take it's still at Snapethorpe school grounds

Good game to watch Stanley finishing the first half down hill the stronger and went in 18-6.

Westgate then reversed the game by using some strong runs from their pack taking it to 18 all, extra time loomed.

A missed dropped goal added to the tension but it was a poor defense IMHO that allowed an 6 man over lap to Westgate and Stanley with their sliding defense was quick enough to cover the final pass

A well deserved victory To Westgate Wolves 22-18

Agreed, great game and a nailbiting finish. The drop-goal attempt hitting the post was probably the most exciting part.

Some very good talent at that age in the Wakefield area.

In u11's can you scoot in your own 20 or own half without turning the ball over when tackled.

Stanley Rangers have added another U13's team for this season, due to having a massive number of kids signing on. They've also recruited a humdinger of a head coach for the new team and since there are a few places left, this is a great chance to get your lads signed up. You know it makes sense!

yes will be nice to see him take the reigns

good look coach

Only in your own 20 . ( but best check with the ref pre - ko)

best to check with an up to date rule book has our 11s cach has told me they have changed the rules which allows 11s to scoot from anywhere on the field now which was a bit of a suprise.

Another cracking game this morning between Crigg and Cas Panthers Under 12's finishing 28-14 to Crigg .
We got off to flyer scoring 2 early tries which was a bonus playing up the hill .In the end Crigg were 28-0 up at one point , but fair play to the Cas lads , they kept passing it about and scored 3 tries in the last 15 minutes or so which was well deserved .
The only bad point was one of the Panthers lads has ended up going to hospital with a knackered ankle ...fingers crossed there's nothing broken for the lad
Eastmoor away for us next week
