I've seen this for many years so maybe snowie's lad is now a man.
This leaves some one new to take up the mantle seeing as the BARLA draw is imminent and the Schools have kicked off.

Lets not have any referee baiting or so called grown ups moaning that they have video evidence that on minute. 43.45 number 23 rubbed their number 32s face in the grass.

This is Rugby league not badminton.

lets go good luck to all particularly new teams and clubs and all boys and girls starting out for the first time.

Got a first in score from yesterday.

Kettlethorpe y9. 26.
St Thomas a Beckets 06

I heard that the merger papers had not come through so none of the Cathedral players were eligible.
Its a shame to stop children from playing.

Eh ? Merger papers ??
So what happens to the cathedral team then ?

not yet but good on yer for like you say taking up the mantle,

for some years now theres been a few on here trying to promote the junior game and I hope we have laid the foundations for it to continue for more years as long as adults realise what this is trying to achieve and that's it's for the kids.

when I first came on here the lad was playing under 9s and was sweet and innocent and can remember his first game, as the years pass bye it gets more competitive.

If I had any advice to pass on it would to make sure they enjoy the game come what may because as sooner that fades then it can end up being one hell of a grind.

Barla cup draw's up on the site now ( can't seem to do a link from my phone )

Another school boy result.

cas academy high 40 kettlethorpe 16 year 9

a game of 2 halfs as they say although kettlethorpe struggled yo put up a team which is not very good for the first division.

However the cas team had the game won in the girdt 5 minutes but in the 2nf hslf a vouple of the Kettlethorpe plsy makers took advantage of cas taking the foot of the gas.

I agree it was a game of two halfs with cas leading 40-0 at ht,that said 1 or 2 ketty lads showed a bit of character that with 4 of cas starting 13 turning out for ketty in the second half and 1 or 2 more taking a break to try and make a game of it.it did neither side any good imo but thankfully it gets a bit more competative once the yorks cup starts.!

One of Ketty trys was by Cas a lad who scored 2 for Cas and 1 for kett which must be first in any sport

Hutchie I have seen you play and also seen Drig Play several times this season, On balance if you perform as you can you will win.

But as you will prob agree if Wyke don,t (Turn up) you may well get turned over.

The stand off is key for them very quick on his feet, tie him up and you should be ok!

Cas academy yr8 beat Outwood 38 - 20 last night after beating Kettlethorpe comfortably last week.

They now face a division decider at St Wilfs I believe on Monday in what will be a tasty affair with Cas after revenge for their Cas Cup Defeat.

Year 9 result

Outwood Academy 6 V 56 Ossett Academy

Year 10 Result
Ossett Academy 38 V 14 Freestone Academy

Year 10 Fixture
Friday 18 Oct 3:30pm
Ossett Academy V St Wilfreds

The cas v ketty game was quite a match to be remembered for lots of good reasons. The lads who put ketty shirts on tried and played as well as they would of done just about on the othe side.i take my hat off to them.

Kettlethorpe got a rugby lesson in the first half although a couple were in thier first natch some of the lads were playing their 3rd game in 5 days afer a hard win over becketts on Monday.

im also lucjy enough now to get to watch or decide who im going to watch as the young un had his first school boy game , started at 7 and for mine the the buas papa was inspirational and man of the match as Kettlethorpe won at Airdale by a last minute try. All dispitr the coachs sad attempts at cheating and telling a case of poor sportsmanship I will keep to myself.

22-16 a great match with 35plus lads giving everything

***********

On a different point surprised to see the ossett outwood score with all due respect was the outwood side depleted or something?

And to spongebob The cathedral high school or cathy as we know it as got a partnership with year 9s rugby team at least but as far as I know onlyb1 player who is very very good as been mentioned in the pick.

not gonna be popular for saying this but I want every school to have a team and for there to be no need for merged schools.
maybe this is the fault of wajey wildcats not having the guts to get out in the schools but I know that school games in wakefield are badly planed and badly cancled.
But in Castleford and Hull the schools take Rugby League si serious but get to Wembley every year,

I know I swung off topic but I answered spongie.

BTW , GOOD KICKIN SOFAR FROM YOUNG SPONGE

Thanks for that Mutts . Got to agree with your point about all schools & wishing they could all have a team - Just depends on the teachers I suppose & their own interests .
Young Sponge is pretty reliable at kicking ...apparently after the Becketts game he's had 10 people asking him for coaching lessons !

Ossett have a number of lads now playing regular club rugby; most of them with us, but a couple with Eastmoor; I believe 3 of their yr 9 team signed scholarship papers with SL clubs recently.

Also, they've got a new coach and a more regular training schedule.
