John-Lee Lockwood now there is another young player touted for great things, where did he end up?

Me and the missus seem to think that he went to Aus for a while (could be wrong though) but he then played at Hunslet in '03 and '04 according to Google but I'm fairly sure that he then went to play 'kick-and-clap' possibly for Sandal ??

Played in the Burmah Oil 7s at Snapethorpe about 4 times for St Michael's between 1972-1976 and actually won our year group in 1977 or 1978 for Thornes House against a St John Fisher team that we had narrowly lost to in the Yorkshire Gup Final at Batley. Only played in the Les Pounder Trophy at Belle Vue once, half time in their game against Workington, I think. We were beaten 9-0 by a Snapethorpe team, with a tiny, whippet half back called Nigel Bell scoring a hat trick against us.

I was at Snapethorpe in the early 80's, playing a game of soccer in pe,I took a penalty and didn't score, he shouted at me, placed the ball and fired it at the keeper who put his hands up and it broke his arm, so that's 2 broken arms attributed to him! Any more for any more?

The teachers were such good sorts back then. Also remember Mr Hollis, I liked him, if you ever annoyed him to the point he shouted at you, he would apologise after.

Don’t normally post much on here, but I must say you have got me posting once I saw this thread. I played for Flanshaw st michaels from under 11s so I would say 1988 ish onwards. Our coach was Bernie Smith and he played a huge part in my early rugby career. Always took part in the snapethorpe sevens and played against schools called Crigglestone, Sharlston, Sandal Endowed and Crofton to name a few. Also played in numerous les pounder trophies at half time and we’re lucky enough to win on at least one occasion against Crig I think?. Still have the photos. In our team we had a young lad playing for us called Graeme Law......! And a number of other I played against. One being a spritely skinny Chris Chester, who played for Sandal at the time. I also believe a young chap called Kurt played for us as well who is in the picture. He now sponsors the trin under the guise of Hawley plant Hire. Memories hey!
