Micks put a great video of the U16s half backs Matthew Race & Luke Littlewood combining to score a beauty try. Let's hope we can keep these lads and have off field stability for them to flourish

I said on previous page that Race stood out in the Leeds game. I went to the Cas game too and again, he stood out, especially in that second half domination.

There's clearly a few lads that won't make it in the team, as you'd expect at that level. But there's at least 3 or 4 in that side that look good too. Race the stand off, and there's a couple of forwards that seem to be head and shoulders above the rest too.

Apparently the club are due to decide soon who they're going to keep on and move into the 19s. From someone who's only seen a couple of games, I think there's a few quite obvious candidates for the Yay and for the Nay.

Unfortunately I couldn't tell you names from the Cas game as there were no team sheets available.

Lets hope John Bastian can work his magic again
Oh and we have some off-field stability.
Breaking my heart seeing Joe Brown, Cameron Scott, Jake Trueman ripping it up for other teams. Oh what could have been.
Still it was worth losing that talent to see Richie Mathers in a Bulls shirt along with 20 other players who had a massive impact.

There has been great support for the Bulls Academy Spring Ball, Only a dozen seats are left.
Still time to join us and support the young talented players. We are sure you'll enjoy a great night. The Coaching staff and ex-players are joining us.

Outstanding Achievement Awards will be presented on the night.

Barclays have very kindly offered to "match fund" so far up to £3000, and possibly up to £4000.

£8000 raised from the ball according to John Bastian. Great stuff!

From reading the reports, sounds like we've got a player in Reiss Butterworth

Re: U19s U16s and BullBuilder News : Mon Jul 17, 2017 10:18 am  

£2000 raised form the walk, £1100 from the bucket collection so over £3k raised. Outstanding stuff and i'm sure it will be a big help.

Just had a chat with John Bastian to write some articles for BullBuilder. He really does have the knack of making you look on the bright side. For all the strife the first team are in we do have some really top prospects coming through, four of which will receive awards in the next week or so.

John's busily trying to get players signed up and planning pre season which will happen this time and should give us a good start in 2018.

If the first team rugby is too depressing remember we still have the 16s and 19s. We play London this Saturday at Dudley Hill KO 2pm admission £2.

Sounds good that hes planning for next year with pre-season etc

Looks like the academy is staying

The Bradford Bulls u16s went down 38-12 at St Helens this evening. Thanks to everyone who listened to the commentary.

My son plays under 16's, and I have watched that age group across the leagues since under 9's. Littlewood was the best half back out there. Leeds went for Scrimshaw, who is not very good just in a good junior team, and the Stanningley lad, and IMO made a mistake. I am sure Littlewood could be a future star.
