The problem is the further you go the more those small towns and villages are very much rugby union strongholds including their schools and youth clubs. Maybe an answer is for both pro clubs to set youth sides up at places nearer like Beverley, Cott, Hedon. Could be good for our fanbassadors scheme

Do a lot of our youngsters still leave the city to join rival teams like they did in the 90's?

Not really these days

jordan Abdull was at Leeds for a while but most opt for FC or KR

Couple of u16 lads from our team are at Fev and doing well

Hutchie I know your involved with kids game so maybe you can let us now are the two clubs doing any thing in Lincolnshire to promote the game?
Remember a few tag teams from there at KC once and Rovers doing some thing at Grimsby but nothing recent .
Most work teams now seem to of dried up too.

I've seen them do stuff over there and Scunny but will ask the question.

I remember going over to Grimsby few years ago to play the South Humber Rabbitohs and Shorpe have a thriving touch rugby set up but as for junior game I aint a clue. Lot of union over that side

Thanks
