junior rl 1st summer season : Thu Feb 09, 2012 10:24 am  

hope you dont mind me starting a new thread for the junior rugby section its something we have done for a few years now.

not long now folks until we kick off for the summer season,im sure all our respective teams have been working hard over the last month "well until the snow came" anyway.

i understand that quite a few teams from the pennine leagues will be joining yorkshire juniors and quite a few different ideas are going to be introduced including end of season play offs alas super league which imo is a good idea not so good if you dont make the top 8 has your season will be cut short.groups of 10-12 with league games completed by the end of july with play offs starting in sept,also four free weeks in which you can play games against humberside clubs which im sure will delight basil fawlty.all good stuff but some things never change and with less than a month before the big ko still no idea of who or where anyone will be playing.

p.s lets cut out all the crap this time and keep it positive.

I think my lads team(Greetland) at u12s is in the yorkshire junior league,originally was going to be in west riding(folded??).Looking forward to season getting under way,should be a step up in quality to what theyve been used to.

i wasnt at the meeting on mon night but i believe it to be the case that the west riding league has indeed joined the yorkshire juniors,how they work out who goes in which group i dont know but they did say that if some teams are struggling they will be moved groups to suit during the season and vice versa with teams that are winning easy week in week out.

Looking at the West riding site it seems they have folded a few age groups so a few teams to come into the YJL. Is anyone else having difficulty getting onto the YJL site tried on a couple of browsers an different machines and still says page not found ?
This cold weathers playing havoc with Crigg u12 training sessions at the moment and we are supposed to be playing the postponed Wakefield cup semi on the 26th welcome to summer rugby!

yorkshire juniors site has been down for about a week now im not too sure whats happening with it.

i think most sides are been disrupted by the weather,we have missed both this weeks sessions and had to call off our friendly game with oulton on sat.its also been nice to have nearly all our players back fit after a horrrendous run of injuries in the last winter season.

Apparently the YJARL site is administered by an American company who are having problems.

Weather is causing issues, my 12s were due to play over in Wigan this weekend but cancelled, the boys are gutted but it will be off set a bit by them walking out with the Rhinos at the DW on Saturday night.
