hope you dont mind me starting a new thread for the junior rugby section its something we have done for a few years now.

not long now folks until we kick off for the summer season,im sure all our respective teams have been working hard over the last month "well until the snow came" anyway.

i understand that quite a few teams from the pennine leagues will be joining yorkshire juniors and quite a few different ideas are going to be introduced including end of season play offs alas super league which imo is a good idea not so good if you dont make the top 8 has your season will be cut short.groups of 10-12 with league games completed by the end of july with play offs starting in sept,also four free weeks in which you can play games against humberside clubs which im sure will delight basil fawlty.all good stuff but some things never change and with less than a month before the big ko still no idea of who or where anyone will be playing.

p.s lets cut out all the crap this time and keep it positive.

i wasnt at the meeting on mon night but i believe it to be the case that the west riding league has indeed joined the yorkshire juniors,how they work out who goes in which group i dont know but they did say that if some teams are struggling they will be moved groups to suit during the season and vice versa with teams that are winning easy week in week out.

really looking forward to this year, i'm coaching Heworth and my 2 eldest lads are in my team this season, hope they realise they're not in for an easy ride

Looking at the West riding site it seems they have folded a few age groups so a few teams to come into the YJL. Is anyone else having difficulty getting onto the YJL site tried on a couple of browsers an different machines and still says page not found ?
This cold weathers playing havoc with Crigg u12 training sessions at the moment and we are supposed to be playing the postponed Wakefield cup semi on the 26th welcome to summer rugby!

been told last night that they hope to have the website up this weekend

our season starts 4th march but we are playing in the Barla Nationals next sunday home draw against Widnes St Maries

Apparently the YJARL site is administered by an American company who are having problems.

Weather is causing issues, my 12s were due to play over in Wigan this weekend but cancelled, the boys are gutted but it will be off set a bit by them walking out with the Rhinos at the DW on Saturday night.

Site back up now though not updated.

this weekends under 14s Barla Nationals round three

Dewsbury Moor v Widnes Moorfield
Drighlington v Oulton Raiders
Kells v Blackbrook Royals
Normanton Knights v Leigh East
Skirlaugh Bulls v Folly Lane
Stanley Rangers v Widnes St Marie's
Wigan St Judes v Oldham St Annes
Clock Face Miners v West Hull

my predictions

The league tables are in!

Where?

They've not been put on the YJARL site yet but have been emailed to clubs.
