a very good win for the Normy u17s today beating Upton 22-12.

Normy took a 12-0 lead in to the second half only for Upton to claw them selves back to 12 all.
it was touch and go for a bit in the end we managed to get that cushion we needed.
it still had its heated moments but was controlled far better with this referee

home draw in the next round to Stanley Rangers

It seems like panthers got another result at the weekend, could be a team to watch this year

Stanley Cas should be a cracking semi final and im sure the Rangers will relish the challenge.

Is this the year of Panthers/West Hull ?

Still so hard to tell with East Hull still at 100% in the league. What is staggering is the amount of teams who have only won once . Every win will count for something at the moment in the top 2 divisions in the 14s.

FWIW I personally think technically W Hull have the edge but points on the board count as Crigg found out last year .

Cas v West Hull final but no easy semi for either team. Then its anybodies

14's is weekend of 21st/22nd June i believe.

IMHO West Hull are the favourites as they have beat Panthers comfortably on two occasions.

Raiders 8's had our first game after Easter putting in a real good performance against a decent Eastmoor side who had some pretty handy runners and defended well for the most part, but they also had a few smaller kids too. The run of fairly easy games we have had running up to Easter seemed to do us the world of good and confidence levels were high and they put in one of their best performances yet. Was close at the break but Eastmoor seemed to go to sleep a bit in the second half when playing up hill. Good to play 12 a side on a big field so all the kids got a good run out.

We have been told from another coach that the teams have been split by squad size rather than ability since Easter, presumably to give more players the chance to play. I can see the logic in this, but wherether or not this is more important than playing against equally matched opposition would be better I don't know.

Kippax away this week.

good win today for Normy u17s beating Keighley Albion 42 -4, the game was marred due to a head collision in which when one of our lads came off, he then didn't know where he was and had to go to A&E hope he recovers ok

as yet these lads are unbeaten in league and cup
