Finally got round to watching this game and have to say hugely impressed.
Crowther clear MOM, absolutely everywhere in the first half.
Jowitt suits the six roll.
Hooley looked a lot better than he did against Leeds where he looked a little over awed to me.
Kershaw, I really like this kid though he looks about 30! Very direct, reminds me a bit of Cockayne minus the gob.
Wray did well as did Ackroyd.
Of the genuine under 19's they were all good tbh couldn't pick a special one really but I'll try - I liked the hooker Hiddleston as well as Moxon and Newbould and I saw nice touches from Tom Scofield and a few others but all were really good.
They looked diciplined and pretty skillfull more so than there Batley counterparts tbh. What did surprise me though was there size. I know they were smaller than Batley but there were some big lads for there ages all across the park for us who with a few years under their belts will be strong lads. I say this because for years now the one thing our juniors have always lacked is size and the ability to develop physically. The only player on the park today who was small even for his position was Ackroyd but he makes up for that.
How many will make it who knows but if I were Batley I'd have made some notes.

You must have been watching a different game. Love to see the penalty count in the 2nd half, he was forever blowing his whistle.
