yes his size wont stop him he is a very good player with a good rugby brain and a great determination.

no offence taken to the cas bit.

i spoke with the heworth coach last week and they seem to be in the same boat has yourselfs struggling to get a decent game in league 2,it should be a good game when the two of you meet and garforth turned townville over and are a very big side who could also make a game of it.

the way i see things is that two teams willl drop out of group 1 and 2 teams from group 2 will replace them either after every team has played each other or after christmas.

did I mention our crap game toady ? no I didn't I will try tomorrow

yesterday stanley rangers lost to crigglestone 24 -6 and it was a nightmare with the weather, passes wasn't reach each other and if they did it wasn't controllable,
kicks was being taken out on the full it was like watching pinball and we seemed to be caught up with poor decisions from the referee, very difficult to take this on the chin but if their was ever proof that there is need for junior referees then that game was it

But not in Criggs case me thinks.

just want to say my deepest sympathies to the family of rikki nugent of west leeds.

rikki was playing in an under 17s game last sunday morning at shaw cross for west leeds when he collasped feeling ill,unfortunatly he had suffered a brain heommoridge and died a few days later.

rip young man

Yes all very sad.

afraid it was, more or less one man runs they broke through our defense as we kept right on our line through mistakes and ref penalizing us

we had a minutes silence for him on saturday very sad, I too would like to send my sympathies to his family and friends
R.I.P. Rikki

same conditions for both mate, was the ref a kid or grown up (no difference at times)

Shaw Cross 20 York Acorn 10.

Acorn came up from division below and showed some good play, Cross are starting to look like a decent side and will get better.

a young lad but its a learning curve that they have to go through

On October 17th 2 wakey v cas amateur games.
Stanley rangers v Lock lane.
Fryston v Sharlston.
Should be 2 great games

Stanley Rangers 10's lost their first game of the season 32-22 away to Stanningley. Appaling conditions for both teams, we were right in the game till the last 5 mins when they scored two late tries. Not as physical as i expected, and thought coach/players/parents etc conducted themselves very well. We were missing two of our best players and think it showed in the end. Was probably the worst we have played this season, and still only just missed out, so some encouragement can be taken from that.

oh....and to top it all, after the game JJB came into the clubhouse, and we had to listen to him talking about going to the GF next week..........

naucious to say the least

I reckon it's time for adult, impartial referees at u12 level. If we're going to be competitive (which at u12 we're supposed to be) we need proper referees instead of kids who are going to be swayed by the home crowd. I realise that they've got to learn how to referee a game but can't kids who want to be refs get their experience from refereeing the younger ones in tandem with a refereeing course or something? If it's a question of cost then I don't know ...

the problem is adults dont want to ref because they get so much crap off parents/adults.maybe its just time people showed respect to whoever the ref is.its not an easy job know matter how old you are!

Agree with the sentiment, trouble is that even at under 8 and 9's parents give the ref stick for decisions they make. Like you said before, ref's have to learn the game aswell, but some people don't want to give them the opportunity.

I think being a ref seems far easier then it actually is & i commend anyone for doing it especially at junior level.

It must be really difficult for a coach to ref, they have to be impartial, but often lean towards the visiting team a little.

What i would like to see is us playing to the same rules every week.

Sometimes we play handover if a player goes into touch, some see it as a tackle, some penalize for high tackles, some don't.

sad to say that we haven't got a game to play this weekend because Methley under 12s have folded

it was local derby that they was always up for, I hope the lads move on to another club rather than sit at home on the xbox 360

our next match is a week on sunday against selby warriors in the cup so if anybody got some info



joking

my lad plays for fev lions u14s lost 1 game to normy by 2points and won the other 3.. last1 against crigg we won 10 9 very close ...we have oulton on sundayand acup match against brigghouse next sunday

How big is Matty, Crigg's number 11,

i dont know or remember as theres big lads all over and for tasty that was not as tasty as some we have already had stanningley away was tasty 1sent off 1sin bining

Stanley Rangers u 10's entertain Eastmoor at home (Ferry Lane) on Sat morning at 10.30. Really looking forward to this one, always good games between us. Shame for them really, as they were unbeaten before this weekend

not sure what they are telling you but they deffo got beat by us and against stanningley,should be a good game between the two of you nevertheless and if i wasnt engaged with our game against stanningley id be there to watch it.
