change of venue to sundays Barla cup game Stanley Rangers u15s will entertain West Hull at the Roddillians field on Lee Moor Road kick off 11-30

Seems a bit daft.

I think that nationally, there's a big drop off in participation in jr rugby at U14's; that'll be down to the clash with football. Lots of lads lost to the game because they've been forced to choose between rugby or football, for no good reason.

Great game this morning between Stanley 7s and Birkenshaw finished 4 all, some great defence from both teams especially the smaller less developed visiting team. That draws the curtain on my first season as a spectator and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. Not sure what I am going to do next year when I have one in the 7s and one in the 8s will have to split myself in 2.

Sandal Spartans came back from 20 nil down with just 18 minutes remaining to beat West Hull 22 - 20.

A combination of bad luck, poor execution and quality opponents who took their chances well gave the Spartans a mountain to climb. Playing up the slope with the wind in their faces Sandal found something special when defeat looked almost certain.

West Hull were a credit to Junior Rugby League not just in how they played but also in their conduct after the nature of their defeat.

Hull Wyke U12's beat Oulton Raiders 16-6 in a good tough game.

West Hull and Skirlaugh both won there games at that age too

Panthers 12s crashed out of the cup with a very dissapointing performance after starting so well and looking comfortable for the majority of the first half.

The game finished 26-22 and the panthers can have no complaints has the side which wanted it more got the result.

Rob is on about the panthers 12s in the u13s comp as the ones in the 12s play next week( don't ask )

I watched lock lane v east leeds 12s comp . Lane were missing a few to soccer and looked out of sorts. East leeds defense won them throu and credit them for it

Don't get me started half of our team will be shaving by the time we go to u13s for proper.its been a balls up from day 1 of this summer rugby!!

Siddall beat Stanley Rangers at u12's

Greetland AR beat Batley Boys 30-8 in U12S(U13S Barla cup)

Stanley Rangers u15s crashed out of the cup to a very good West Hull side today,

At 0-4 nil down we just threw away chance after chance and even when we got over the line it was called held up, sore the decision as I was yards away and the correct side of that the player to see that it was clearly grounded.
West Hull was the best team on the day so we have only our selves to blame.

The game ended when they scored again with around two mins to go 0-8

Scores are all up now - draw on Tuesday www.barla.org.uk/News/Details.asp?id=3041

Oulton Vikings went out 28-30 (not 12-40 as it says on the site) after leading 20-8 at half time and not getting the rub of the green in the 2nd half. Pleasing performance for large parts of the game, playing the better rugby of the 2 sides.

Did East Leeds win the tie at the first attempt or did it go to a replay? A parent from Isberg told me it went to a replay but i though games were settled by extra time and golden point.

HaHa welcome to the real world of Junior rugby mate



Been there , seen it , got the t-shirt ....and now Were back there a bl@@dy again lol

Sorry Rob but have to say Well done to THE SHARKS (our 2nd team in the 13s now) and of course 1st team in the 11s .

Fingers crossed for a Crigg / Shawcross final .and i think our coach with his Shawcross conections would like that too



Congrats once again to the Sharks

WOW! that is amazing













Im sure we all know this is the 13s / old 12s being that the cock up meaning the under 12s division 2 champions from febuary 2012-present v the hate to say it but the team that was cast aside at the botom of divioson 1.

Is this surley not the final hammer blow . Many who have seen this side will no doubt pick out some named players and no doubt i will put money down now even at 13 they will go pro but as much as I love Stanley as a club I think its now time for this age group to make way for the far better team of Siddal, as 60-0 Wins do nothing for either team.

I wouldnt be surprised either if a change in coaching roles aswell makes a certain club stronger this year

I meant u11's that are now in the U12's

Whos having a change of coaching roles?

Stanley only lost by 2 points didn't they? Hardly 'far better'. If the division were larger then it would create even competition and also a challenge to further develop. The teams who dominate aren't doing anything spectacular, they're sometimes physically looking 1 or 2 years older, and this can change very quickly.

Totally agree on that, 2 div's of 10 and 2 of 9 at u13's next year with just top 4 play off planned would be manageable, I think at all age groups they should be looking at a 4 division structure looking at the amount of clubs, there is no need for top 8 play offs (this isn't super league) top four would give some credence to the playoffs making a semi and finals days on consecutive weekends manageable

No need for any side to drop out of group 1 but let's bring at least 2 maybe even 4 teams up and then we will have a proper league,yes the to 2 from group 2 beat the bottom 2 from group 1 narrowly in a one off cup game its hardly evidence to cast aside two teams who for the majority have competed reasonably well but towards the end of season have probably lost a little confidence.

Has for the cup unless they meet the 13s final will be a repeat of last year and again it would be a cracking final.

Am I correct that the Hull teams are joining the YJL next season?

I don't think so the cost of travelling would be damaging to a lot of clubs and parents.

Too right... its a triple dip recession in Hull

Hmm - not sure where I got that information from then; must have dreamt it!

Anyhow, great turnaround for us yesterday - 20 nil down with 18 mins to go and being caned by the official, we scored 22 unanswered points to nick the game; not sure where the lads dug that one up from, but it was probably the hardest they've played all season.

West Hull were a terrific bunch - probably the most respectful and dignified group of young players we've met all season; they even cleared up after themselves in the clubhouse after the food and presentations!
