Must echo seths comments and my first one I stand by even if one other sees it diffrent. It was a classic cup final and when the bench are shouting take two with 5 minutes to go and the score 12-4 proves what a most eentertaining match the lads served up.

Keep it to the rugby out of respect to the lads who played.

I actually find it a little cringeworthy when grown men are bickering/arguing over kids sports, leave them to it and let them enjoy their sport before life starts to get serious in reality, i's supposed to be pressure free at that age! Just saying.

Stay away from jr rugby then! Besides rugby, I've been involved in jr football, athletics, gymnastics and tae kwon-do, and I've seen none of the petty, childish backbiting in any of those other sports that was the norm in rugby. And that's before you get involved in the administration of the jr game, which is shambolic to say the least.



If the RFL could make just one structural change to the game, I'd want them to perform a root and branch review of the community game; it's a mess.

well done to Lewis's old team Stanley Rangers u16s beating Skirlaugh 1-0 in the final of the national cup

Did You type that correctly,

1 - 0



We're they playing ice hockey?

yes a very low scoring game

I watched the game and it was very close, however Skirlaugh bombed 2 chances to score tries in the final minutes and then Stanley got the drop goal that won it for them, Stanley were seriously out gunned in size by the Hull team but made more yards in the tackle and looked the stronger team coming up the hill.

Absolutely atrocious conditions and I would not of like to have played in that weather, well done to all those that played in the games yesterday.

Don't go to jr rugby, I was referring more to guys on this forum!

the only issue I take with your post is the word man , if only you knew Jiner ....if only you knew

Come on soccer is awful both touchline and within etc



Dads Pushing their kids in front of others

The Alpha Male becoming assistant coach even tough hes useless

The coach a mix of Mr Baxter , Brian Glover and John Terry cos he will get jiggy with your wife

One Rich dad buys the floodlights , turf and sponsors the kits and his kid is striker

Mr Baxters Jnr plays sweeper of course and is Capt . He will be with UTD one day ...then when it don't happen he starts drinking more

Best player on team comes from a poor family is excluded from groups and rarely shoots or gets set up even if clear, if he does score Dad gives him Hi-5 . If others scores Daddies and Mummies give them £5 apart from Mr Baxter he gives £20 that's why hes never passed.

After the game no one gathers for food and drink



AND THEN THE TOUCH LINE DISPUTES AND MUMS

I really enjoyed the match , I know a lot may look at it a different way but its ages since I was lucky enough to witness such a battle . I incidentally called it a drop goal even if I got the wrong team and I was proven right on around 20mins that the Bulls should of kicked for goal. Both teams also had 1 clear cut chance to score. even in the last minute it could of been tied had the Skirlaugh 7 gone deeper on the 5th or if they had gone for goal on the 3

its overused this saying but I really do mean this its a shame someone lost on Saturday. It deserved extra time or a replay . Well done Lordy and the Stanley lads and commiserations to Ski laugh.



Also well to east Hull 14s 36-4 winners over East Leeds could of been more.



Lets keep the talk to Rugby Hull were phenomenal and showed why they are 3 points above Cas P . The only 2 clubs anywhere close IMHO West hull and Lock Lane

what a disappointing finish to a good game today for Normanton Knights u17s who went to Lock lane in the semi final of the national cup,

having totally dominated them in the first half and even being down to 12 men due to a yellow card for holding down and going in 0-6 up everything pointed to a close game. Lock lane came out in the second half and looked the most lively and levelled it 6-6. The original ref had turned up and his replacement had a lot of us baffled by his decisions especially when one of our lads was up ended above the horizontal and even though we got the penalty stayed on the pitch, 8-6 to Normy.

Lock lane then had advantage again due to a remark made by one of our player who then was sin binned

so for a second time we the lads had to endure playing with 12 men, now I'm not sure why but on both occasions the binning was ten mins, not sure my self but was told by our officials that it should of been 5 mins in junior,

Lock Lane then failed to take a penalty which could of levelled it again, anyway the pressure built and the lads again held them up on their own try line when a Lock Lane lad was hurt in the tackle and an ambulance had to be call, not sure on the injury but he got caught up doing the splits and could of dislocated his hip but there was concern that he could of torn his groin / hamstring either way the lad was given pain killing gas and was stretched off.



This left around 15 mins to play and was back to a full squad, nerves got the better of both teams and keeping a level head went right of the window and mistakes was done on both side until with only a min it or so remaining Lock Lane went in on corner, unconverted it put it to 8-10 to Lock lane. at the kick off there was only 43 seconds left so a short one was taken but failed to retrieve it back and two plays later they ran in a try through a tried and dejected defensive line to score under the post and convert it, 8-16.



very proud of the lads as this was their first defeat of the season and it was a premier side that had to inflict it, they can stand proud on the performance to lose in that way, its a shame the Wakefield Trinity Wildcats couldn't of seen this as the could learned for these gallant players today.



Well done lads
