Well last year I do think BARLA put it in as a gap filler between 2 "BIG" games . yes a stop gap , agrab a pie and a pint , go for a wee n stuff . grab your brolly from your car and a warm up for the Big Main Event that was the last match that is now lost on me.

The match East Hull Unders 12s V Crigg All Blacks 12s

What followed hower was something that stole all the headlines onhere , the "best match of the entire weekend" was being thown around all over the place .
and the staff at wakefield and others were double happy . a great tourniment over a super weekend with the talk of the weekend being a wakefield up and coming club as Crigglestone Scraped A win.

Since that match Crigglestone have not been beaten and nither have East Hull the only thing that as changed is that they are 13 and due to a very very nice draw here we are at the BARLA finals 1 year on

today Easts beat Wests in what I presume would of been a tight derby 10-24 i think ish
and crigg once again put 40 away without reply but the test will come on final day as Easts will surley be up not just for the cup but for some east yorkshire pride.

i can not wait if you can get to the junior barla finals , im sure more news on time and dates will follow.

Did you get over to Greetland for the game???

Top of the hill on the right, curved footy pitch and a rugby pitch on top of the world

Is that Greetland.

More like a ploughed field on top of the world than a rugby pitch

TBF there are two pitches,but more often than not the "ploughed field" is used,hell of a slope which they try to use to their advantage.

Hot chocolate with marshmallows and whipped cream in the clubhouse afterwards was very welcome though !

Yeah did enjoy it - the hospitality was terrific from the club , parents & players . I'd be more than happy to go back ( might take an extra jumper though !).
Good of the Siddal lads from the week before to come & cheer us on too .

Agree.The players and parents were also a credit to the Crigg club.Pleasant change to host a team that doesnt bring parents that just want to "mouth off" all the game.
My own lad was quite shocked when the Crigg fullback(i think)apologised to him after the game --- for dumping his face in the mud.
Good luck in the final.

It's great when young lads surprise you like that; we played West Hull a few weeks ago and at the end of the game, the entire team came over to our touchline and applauded our spectators - it was a lovely gesture that took everyone aback. Smashing lads.
