very close win for Stanley Rangers 14s today beating Oulton raiders 26-18
that now puts us on the same points but top on points difference





we can now chill out for the challenge cup final next sunday


shame its not Hunslet Darkside as would of loved to repay them for their win over us a few years back



argh well

went to watch a panthers under 12s today angainst some french team it was a bit it was ok game but panthers was far to strong for the french team winning 40 pluss to 0 and to be fair i dont think the french could compete with any of the top division over here but it was good to watch.

has the prvious post says the panthers u12s ran out 44-0 winners against a spirited side that gave there all and never gave in.

the difference in class was huge has the panthers ran in 9 tries playing some good rugby which was pleasing has these games tend to see players get too excited when they see the line.

overall a good weekend was had by the french kids, they enjoyed the experiance and hopefully they will take a positive attitude back to france and look to improve in the future.

i think the u11s game finished 24-12 to the panthers.

Spartans U13's beat Cas Lock Lane 70-24 on Sunday, to go 3rd in the table with 2 games in hand.

Some hard work in training this week, then we play our Continuation Cup final against Stanningley on Saturday morning; I'll be glad when it's all over - I'm like a cat on a hot tin roof!

panthers u12s moved up into 2nd place in the league after beating east leeds 24-10.

another solid performance from our boys playing some good stuff,a few bombed tries and a late score from east leeds made the score closer than it should have been,but overall im well pleased with how we are progressing has a group.

under 10s

Shaw cross went down at at a very well organised birstall Victoria today.

yes Shaw cross to the regulars.

its time to thank all the guys who have over the years put so much into both my lads at Stanley Rangers but time moves on and so do players and even juniors .
My lad single handed pick Cross to go to , A certain Mod i'm sure would recommend it , at looking just 1 week i can see its a mighty fine junior set up
so i'm sure its not a bad move.

Of course i have made lots of friends even more so in the 10s group that i class as close friends that i can trust but one friend that has coached both of my kids and in fact as coached around 95% of all Stanley rangers kids deserves my biggest thanks.

She is without doubt the back bone of the kids set up at S.R, and at times i have heard some of the most deplorable things said about her and at times the biggest deserts accolades .
She never sent a kid home unhappy and her ethics are second to none , she installs the correct values into the kids that want to learn and has not just made mine into better players she made mine into better people as well, and brought my youngest out of a very shy shell.

she is alone i m h o an ambassador to the game and myself Karen Ste and Tommy would like to say a massive thank you to our friend .

Emma King.

Spartans U13's missed out on the Continuation Cup by 2 points this morning - Stanningley scored on the last play of the game to just nick it.

Cracking game, very tight and played in great spirits - congratulations Stanningley.

Emma is a star and is passionate about both rugby league and kids enjoying rugby league, I have been involved in junior RL in the Wakefield area for around 11 years and for a big part of that Emma has been involved with our "regular" opposition, I have always found her friendly and knowledgeable and cannot understand how anyone could have a different opinion of her


Well said Muttley, so many times the volunteers involved in our game never get the praise they deserve

what was the score?

24-22

Well said mutts for all of the above

Well pleased today after a hard fought battle with Dewsbury Moor, Stanley Rangers managed to take control of the game and finished worthy winners 38-8

pleased too for the lad too that put in a good stint and drove through for a try



Well done to all the Lads

watched all the games this weekend thought sandal were hard done to by the ref and as a neutral i could say it was as close to cheating as ive ever seen. to play on and on then blow when the other team scored was ridiculous. thought the 17 had a cracking game is workrate was fantastic.

ive not seen stanley play as bad all season, they were out of sorts today and to be honest it flattered them a bit the score. the game was the worst game out of the 8 ive watched at the weekend.

yes they was rattled in the first half and Dewsbury did come with a game plan that worked,
they did have to grind this one out, good teams have to do this and for me its a shame the score line did get away in the end.
I managed to compliment the Dewsbury coach on their efforts in which he too was pleased with their performance

I can't agree with you as I'll get into trouble - the penalties that led to that field position were a bit mystifying though and the final whistle did seem rather convenient, but I guess that's sport!

In reality, we shouldn't have been in that position at all - at 18-6 in the first half we should have closed the game down, but the lads didn't stick to their game-plan and I can say with certainty that some of the things they did on the field have never been done in training!

It was a great experience and no shame to lose - a cup win in our first season only 7 months after forming the club was probably too much of a fairy-tale to come true. What I'm most proud of is that around half the lads in our squad are brand new to the game and have never been signed in with any other amateur club.

We'll kick on as they say! On that subject, we're hoping to launch next season with 14s, 13's & 12's, so if anyone is interested in a coaching role, get in touch.

didn't see nowt of day 1 but great finals and the crigg 12s seem to go hand in hand .
a game that should of been sewn up by criggs last full set was nearly taken into extra time and another ref could of given a different call . but on the face of it it was a game full of little calls that maybe could of gone one way or another . thankfully the lines man knew more about the knock on rule as it would of been a tragedy to of been here talking about a try being given to crigg for a move like that.

great game , better than the hull game? ermmm certainly more intensity for my liking and a great atmosphere .

good advert all round for under 12s rugby league.

Summed up pretty well,I think on the day the better side won the game but you are quite right another ref could have given a penalty try at the death.it was a very hard fought game with two teams giving it there all.

Locklane for us this weekend and we will after be at our best to get a result that would put us in the box seat in the race for second spot.

Stanley Rangers u14s are now back on the league trail with a home tie verse East Leeds this Sunday K.O. 11-30

We're looking to bounce back from our cup defeat with a league match against West Bowling on Saturday, 11:30 ko; we put 70 on them earlier in the season, but I expect them to be much improved and looking for revenge - should be a cracker.

Once again - if anyone is looking for a coaching role or knows someone who is, please get in touch; we'll need 3 new Head Coaches for next season and are happy to discuss helping with qualifications and such.

panthers 12s went down 26-16 at locklane, probably our worst display of the season and the injury curse strikes again has we now have 3 players nursing broken bones and 1 player with stitches in his knee.

it wasnt the best game has it was littered with errors on both sides but we can take comfort in the fact we only completed 4 sets all game and yet we were still well in it until the final play of the game which shows how far we have progressed this year.

hard lines fella,

its a shame for all that the league is turning into chaos.

crigg have so many games in hand to play i can not see them finishing , the mystery draw wont disappear

and no one want to play a rearranged match at a free w/e or midweek except clubs out of division 1 it seems.

crigg need to be able to play to see if they are capable of winning all games.

lockers pushed close again , stanningley did to.

teams are bringing it to crigg and the final; few weeks should be humdingers if the summer ever arrives and the fixtures get sorted.

no more cups

It is turning into chaos with the fixtures,I also find it strange that you believe crigg are struggling to get there games in,in our case we were desperate to play our league fixture against you but the game was called off has you had some players missing,I don't know how we got a point each for it has the game is to be re-organised for September.

The fixtures need to be better organised and a full fixture list needs to be done so people can plan there lives.

It's certainly not straightforward - we've got several games in hand and at this point, I'm not sure when we'll fit them in.

Hey ho - after last week's game against West Bowling was cancelled due to the weather, we try again this weekend vs Fev Lions; fingers crossed for a rain-free few days, otherwise the lads are going to forget how to play.
