Cas Panthers u 12's travel to Oulton tonight with a threadbare squad, only 12/13 fit/available players. Think it's a great decision to play the game as it gives some 'fringe' players a great opportunity to show what they can do. And maybe gives some other lads more game time than they would normally get, also a no loose situation for the coaches as expectations will be lower due to squad availability. All teams suffers injuries etc, so need other players to be able to step up - ateotd it's not superleague - it's just a good opportunity for some of the boys

We can fully empathise, having 6 lads with broken bones in the last 3 months our first venture into division 1 has been made all the more challenging. Some are coming back but a fair way from fitness. Playing our first game at home in 8 matches tonight (at home now for the rest of the season!) we look forward to regrouping and working towards some consistency.

On Saturday Eastmoor Dragons Under 12’s drew 20 all away at Hunslet Warriors in a game in which both teams had opportunities to win. The Warriors started the brighter with the Dragons finishing the stronger to level matters. There was plenty of entertaining rugby on show with both sides driving the ball in strong and putting the ball through the hands well with the draw being a fair result.
The game was marred by a serious wrist break for the Dragons centre who now joins the ever increasing injury list.
As with other teams we are now down to 13 players so will need to put in a big effort to beat Newsome Panthers at home on Saturday (kick off 11.00)
Any lad in school year 7 (under 12’s) wishing to try rugby league for the first time or wants to get back into the game is always welcome to attend training sessions on Tuesday & Thursday at 6.30 – the more the merrier!!

last nights u12s game finished oulton 26 panthers 18.

fantastic performance from oulton and fully deserved the win,for us well the injury list just gets longer to the point where we now only have 10 fit players out of a squad of 18 which meens we have reluctantly had to forefit the game against stanningley on saturday with no players expected to return anytime soon.

take nothing away from oulton they are a much better team now they are over there own injury problems and will be more than a match for a lot of teams with there new and returning players.good thing for us at times like these you find out a lot more about players and i thought 3-4 stood up really well in difficult circumstances.

Stanley Rangers u14s entertain Dudley Hill kick off 11-30

Re: junior rl 1st summer season : Sun Jul 08, 2012 7:58 am  

Spartans U13's went down to a fired up Stanley Rangers yesterday. Stanley were very much the favourites and they played some excellent rugby to seal the win.

In the toughest game they've been involved in so far though, our boys didn't roll over and given how far they've come in such a short time, they can all be proud of the performance, despite the result.

Cas Lock Lane next week, weather permitting.

Stanley Rangers u14s 44 Dudley Hill u14s 0

in what has been a much improved side of late Dudley today turned up with 12 players needless to say it was far from entertaining
