Siddal under 18's today qualified for the national cup semi finals.

That's great, plenty of talent for Lee to keep his eye on for us?

Irish v Keighley,
Tomorrow.

On second thought's just noticed Siddal B v Park A

Greetland toughed it out turning around a 70nil loss at Hoyland Vikings earlier in the season to win 28-24 today despite winning 22-4 at one stage & the incompetent ref awarding 11 consecutive penalties against Greetland playing up the hill in the 2nd half allowing Hoyland back into the game. About ten mins from time the referee was so bad the Greetland players discussed walking off the field of play in protest, they played the 2nd half with two sin binnings so all in all credit to the young lads for sticking with it in the terrible lack of possession that they had !

Went to Irish v Keighley, Despite League placings Keighley outclassed Irish and won.
One of our ex player, also Barrow, got sent off for Irish (a little harsh). Although I don't think it had any bearing on the result. He took it very well, and has gone up a lot in my estimation.
Very disapointed with the language and attitude towards the ref from the many Irish supporters. I am no prude but it is a public area.
Despite this as I always say, Rugby League at any level is a very hard sport and today was no exception, a few niggles but played in a very good spirit.

Have they actually released a list of who is in what division yet or are they hoping everyone just figures it out as they go along?

Quote ="marillion man"National conference league summer RL commences this weekend: www.nationalconferenceleague.co. ... y/fixtures'" Colin I see Siddal are playing East Hull who are top of the league Think I'l stick with Park until the end of their season.

They're only top of the league by virtue of having equally conceded the fewest points so far

Excellent game at Park. Played up hill first half and restricted the other side to 10 points to Parks 4.
Second half tight for 20 mins then Park ran away with it. 1 punch up, soon over apart from that both sides were well disciplined. As I say every time Rugby League at any level is a tough sport played in a tremendous spirit.

Queens lived up to their reputation today!!

Just for a change !!!

All three Calderdale sides won their opening Conference summer league fixtures today.

Anyone know the Siddal score?

62-12 to Siddal

Park lost heavily at home to Brighouse rangers. Park had a 13 point handicap but lost by more than that.
Park had one man sent off very late in the game for a high tackle, fair decision I think and it had no bearing on the result.
As I say every week, what a hard game rugby league is at any level and despite the sending off what a tremendous spirit it was played in,

Greetland also lost at Stainland regardless of the handicap of -7. Poor quality from both sides & even worse from Phil Downsborough in his fancy dress disguise of a referee's outfit. Congratulations to both teams for not losing their cool, Stags even got penalised twice for feeding the scrum......
Good luck to the Stags in the cup, they could win it this year with their youthful enthusiasm & nice to see Bloemy has knocked the funny business out of their game.

We at Whitehall beat Illingworth with a handicap. Go through to face Brighouse in the next round!

s i said a couple of posts earlier, Park lost to Brigas yesterday, they look a very good side.
Best of luck.

Notable wins for Halifax Irish in the cup at Slawit, KXP in the championship, speedy McQueen's Queensbury lads & Bloemy's Stainland Stags might just have been promoted with their win yesterday.

The Greetland lads are dragged back into a dog fight against relegation again, just losing at home to league leaders Underbank.

Now that the better weather & firmer tracks are upon us, there'll be more running rugby & the better & fitter sides should prosper.

thats what you get when two competitions clash, time it was sorted.

Aye - i've just found that out. Many are blaming Siddal for opting for that Winter cup comp.

it is the national cup so should be allowed to play for it.
