Just us then for a 1.15 meet for a little bit of rugby before the main event - the thousands of dance troops !!

cas panthers u10s ended a 3 game losing run by beating whinmoor 30-6,in truth it wasnt a good game with it been stop start with what seemed like every tackle whinmoor players picking up knocks but its nice to get a win under your belt having played a lot better in the previous 3 and losing.

Stanley 10s main problem today was having so many subs , however in complete contrast to last week they ended up beating a spirited garforth side 48-0 in a game were finally some of the hard training paid off.

Lost 28-24 at Eastmoor this morning . Blew it in the last 2 minutes when they used their 1 man advantage to score in the corner twice . Missing some players so we only had 10 players to their 11 plus subs , so on a warm morning they did v. well .
Only bad note was the ref - he wasn't good , I'll leave it at that ! Think they'll be some letters , fines etc . flying about after that one .

Not that good, we had the same ref in the game before. That was the single worst display I have ever seen. 18 to 4 penalty count against us at under 11's is a total joke. The sad thing is the only people to loose out was the kids,shocking, but did not expect anything different.

Mmmmm.... not very good is he .

are you telling us that eastmoor refused to play 10-10 that's shocking , im sure we have played 10-10 at stanley against them before . was told today that at any level under the 12s that teams must be evenly matched in terms of numbers... get ready for the one eyed report when we beat them they said we used bully boy tactics

the ref was he the usual one, we are there next week

done some research into this and i was right ... next year you can play upto 13 a side but only if the opposition as 13 ..its only when you get to 12s you can implement the other rule as they are competitive games. the victory is tainted for eastmoor now imho.

any way its mini rugby today 8s style we are away ... i wonder if spongebob or braytontiger can guess where. i will give you a series of clues ...

slaughter, A64 , H-----h , fed up to the back flaming teeth , never seen them in west yorkshire

cas panthers u10s game finished panthers 20 shaw cross 12, not the best game in the world with lots of errors but we managed to play some decent stuff for 10 minutes and that won us the game.

bad day at eastmoor for stanley going down 28-16 ... showed myself up a little by letting the situation get to me and i for one should know better that at no time at all should i criticize the referee in front of kids. no excuses for it all im a ex coach and touch line manager for another group . goes to show that it can happen to anyone .

the game itself was a disappointment as very little of the training was implemented and i wish that referees who officiate other age groups would realise that different rules apply to different age groups . however its been a good season all round and perhaps best that i will miss next weeks game against heworth.

sorry to all offended.

i wouldnt worry about it too much,emotions can get the better of most of us and if i said what i thought in my head at times id be strung up.junior rugby is a stressfull business and at times kids send you barmy especially when you know they can do better.

has for refs we had a grade 1 referee this morning and in his words he had drawn the short straw getting a u10s game and it had been so long since he last reffed at u10s he didnt know the rules and true to his word he didnt.
