For those RL enthusiasts wanting their regular sunday "fix" they could do worse than go to Brighouse sports club where the first lot of local junior finals take place:
11am U12's Brighouse Rangers v Greetland AllRounders
12.15 U14's Illingworth v Siddal
1.45 U16's King Cross Park v Siddal

Just a short good luck message to the Siddal U18's lads who will play away to Rylands this coming sunday 1.30 KO in the National cup semi finals, several of the team have already played with the Fax U23's this season & quite a few more will be in the Fax U18's which I understand commences the following weekend, fixtures are up on the club's website.

Unfortunately both Siddal teams went out of their respective comps at yesterday's semi finals. I went to watch the U18's at Rylands the result 24-12, always behind on the scoreboard & just about second best on the day against a much bigger & slightly more experienced looking side and a very easily swayed ref by a very intimidating home crowd who need to learn some respect. When Siddal scored their first try a section of the home crowd behind the goals erupted in fury accusing a Siddal official who was running the T/J flag
( unofficially ) for the ref of all sorts of expletives & cheating, they then threw a couple of bottles of beer at him. How can a referee be sent to officiate solo without T/J's for such a prestigious & high profile game at a ground which gives a team home advantage and not neutral ground is absolutely beyond me. The guy was even being referred to by his first name by Rylands' players ! Later into the second half when a players brawl erupted close to the touchline poulated by home supporters a glass/plastic glass full of beer was thrown at the players involved by a youth nearby, absolutely disgraceful behaviour. The ref chose to send only a home player off for initiating the brawl, gave a penalty to the home team & they scored from the resulting possession.
All in all, the lads were just beaten on the day but some things just annoy you when there are such drama's.

Congratulations & very well done to my old club Greetland All-Rounders, I hear their under 12's won the Yorks cup final at Fev today and a Greetland lad got M.O.M.
It brings back memories of my lad winning it as an under 12 with KXP and then a few years later with Siddal under 16's.
For those who aren't just up with how junior RL works, Under 12's is the first age-group that they can compete for silverware, so this 12's age group is a massive achievement for anyone to win such a prestigious trophy & competition.
Long live Greetland All-Rounders.
