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.

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.

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
