Excellent day for the kids. Well done Wakefield Trinity. All the kids loved it and I am sure it helped boost the attendance too.

On a personal note we played a very good Thornhill Trojans side and our defence was outstanding picking up a very good win in our match.

Very good day for Junior rugby in the area just a shame the conditions prevented the half time match.

I coach the Thornhill side mate and it was a cracking game between two well matched sides. Our lads really enjoyed it but I think they enjoyed playing in the floods afterwards even more! I'm going to teach them breaststroke in training on Tuesday.

can I just say how disgusted I am in some of the parents and coaching staff of Stanley u12s I am. not only today and last night at wakey match they verbally abused a 11 year old kid a kid that as only ever played 9 matches. They where calling him names cos of his weight in response to him being a hard tacker and strong runner. The player in question does tackle hard and leaves a few hurt including kids bigger than him but does do this legally (as he had many opposition awards for this)not only that as scored 17 tries in those games and one was 60 meters.

these mindless idiots are now putting someone of the game he loves and they are a joke to themselves he is nothing but a kid and they should really be ashamed of themselves and letting there club down

Was a very good contest mate, rough and tough but played in a good spirit. We look forward to visiting you and welcoming you to ours later in the year.

2 good sets of kids.

today it came to an end of an era with the lad choosing to finish playing,
it didn't come as a shock as we had talked a little about earlier but while he did still have is scholarship down at Wakefield but as the other day it was mentioned that the club wouldn't be in a position to offer him a place.
he has tried to regain his fitness as before his ankle injury but this was to no avail as he has found the going hard due to his size, if its not been with ligament damage its been muscles tightening causing a multitude of aches and back pains and strains which has been difficult to shake off while trying to regain fitness, he still is ongoing with the hospital as he has a chipped bone still floating and is awaiting MRI scan results which has been promised and gone by the NHS.

I would love to think that he may return but feel that's just a parent that loved watching him from the pitch side so you have to respect his decision.

So I would like to thank the Club for the opportunity and wish the present scholarship players all the success in their careers.

and thanks for the memories Lewis they was truly great

Well Lewis as finally come of age mate , which happens to most of em. One thing I will savour is that our families have become good friends and at my low point you have been an amazing friend.

The weight is now probably lifted of Lewis in terms of playing at the moment mate and he can look onwards towards his future education or scheme . Maybe in a couple of years or maybe sooner ( Uni etc ) he can play again at high amateur standard and just enjoy life.

I really do feel tough that the kids are playing to many games with way to many cup games if you are successful and some with small squads players that bodies are just starting to develop are being put trough to much . All because BARLA , YJL , WRFL etc carnt get along and allow for for postponements .

Seen Lewis our best from all of us Me , K , Big gibbo , Little Gibbo n poppi

Any U13's looking for a friendly in the summer break (presuming there is one) please get in touch.

Last year we (Hull Wyke) came over to Cas Panthers for a mini tourney that was a good day out, well run by Adrian and Steve, so if any others have one give us shout or if you fancy a trip over to Hull.
