Thornhill dropped out before start of season

Kings Cross moved down a division

Upton dropped out near end of season

mikegreen673 what number was u playin hull isberg

i wasnt playing i am the coach

ok what do u think of saints joes when i watch joes play your team i was very impresed with the display of your team

in both games i thought you had a very good team though after speaking with eople from your club they say that not many train



my opinion is if your squad trained together you would have won the league



thanks for the comments about our team. they all train and put great effort in for their team and mates every week

very proud of them

Upton had to prop up their open-age team with their U18's because they lost a shed load of players to Hemsworth RU club.

Beat Norland a few weeks back in a very tough encounter - the score escapes me now though. - Have to say the behaviour of players and fans of theirs was a disgrace. Which resulted in a £1000 fine for them and 4 players getting banned for 32 games between them.



We had to drop out of our play-off semi against Hunslet due to not being able to get enough players for one reason or another which was a very sad end to the league for us.



But the season was made worth something with a 27-10 win against Ideal last night in the Hull Cup Final.



Seems very weird that our team has finally come to an end after a very good few years for us. The tough decision for me now is whether to join the Skirlaugh open age set up, Myton open age, or leave rugby all together.

If I was you I'd go to Myton, they had a brilliant first season in the NCL2 and got promoted, they have a lot of potential plus you'll have another chance to play at Normy.

Thought they'd give you a tough one. When we played them their speccies were fairly abusive, especially towards the ref but as we were stood on the far side of the pitch nothing kicked off. Their players were fairly full of themselves and were by far the biggest sledgers we've played but we didn't think they were dirty.



What happened?

Be a shame to quit outright but good luck in whatever you decide. Still never managed to get that pint out of you.





Our team still have another year in them. One of our problems last year was that we were fielding a virtual U17 side. Of the 5 or 6 genuine U18s all bar one or two can still play next year.

New season starting this weekend! Anyone on these forums gonna be playing??

We're back in for another year at King Cross Park ARLFC.



Lost 32.22 to Normanton this weekend. Good effort with just 13 lads against 17. Have 16 players signed on with another 2/3 to come.



Our U17s are looking shaky for numbers and had to call off this weekend. Might end up merging with us.



Looks like Oulton are in the same division as us dholli12. Looking forward to giving you a good bashing.

haha. Should be a good game. Were looking good for numbers. Were running at around 25-28 players every week so there's some hard decisions for our coach. I think most other teams are looking low on numbers, which is always hard when injuries, holidays, and work commitments come round. Let's just hope all the teams stick it out til the end!

Last week we played Fryston and lost 20-18 but i think were getting the points now because they played two overage players

Cas Panthers pulled out of our game yesterday citing lack of numbers. Apparently quite a few have joined Lock Lane in the National Youth League.

Won comfortably against Elland today. Let in a few silly tries in the end but result was never in doubt. Great young ref today also!. 100% record also after we got the points for the Fryston game!

Panthers have folded mate.

So I hear.



York Acorn have taken their place in the league.

Acorn played at Shaw Cross today and lost 20-10 but they look a decent outfit to be fair.

Lost 42.10 at home to Oulton.



They were the best side we've played this year. Looked better organised than Shaw Cross Or Normanton. Also well disciplined and a clean side.

Acorn beat Elland 28.10. Elland said they played awful but Acorn do't sound bad.



Elland will have to up their game big style on Sunday against Oulton in the Yorkshire Cup.

Thanks for the kind words. We always have been a clean side compared to the majority of the sides we play against. Id say this is the first season i have experienced where it pays to be clean. In the past certain notorious teams have turned up with the intension to illegally bully other teams off the park, which normally works unfortunately.

I really enjoyed playing on Sunday. King Cross played the game hard and fair and were always laughing and joking with us in the scrum. It makes the game alot more enjoyable for both players and spectators. Looking forward to playing you at home!

What were Normy like then? It should be a cracker between us two in the first meeting which could help decide who wins the league at the end of the year!

We only had 13 lads and two were carrying knocks. Normanton had a full 17 and it was a hot day. They are bigger and rougher than you without being unduly dirty.



We were 16.4 up approaching half time but tired later on with our lack of numbers (finished with 10) and eventually lost 22.32.



Would think you'd have the edge and you're both better than Shaw Cross and Elland.

For anyone who didn't know



U18’s Yorkshire Cup Round Two 18th October

Elland v Oulton Raiders

Dewsbury Celtic v Queens

Sutton Trust/Lambwath v Kings Cross Park

Hunslet Parkside v Milford Marlins

Stanley Rangers v Normanton Knights

Shaw Cross Sharks v Doncaster Toll Bar

Cottingham Tigers v Wibsey

Obviously did do. Hear tell they won 25.18.



We lost 30.28 at Sutton Trust. Only had 12 lads and soon down to 11.

Yeah i think the pitch was a bit of a leveller but on the day Elland were the better team. They kept getting a roll on and we couldn't slow it down whatsosever and gaps were created. Elland deserved the win and it should do us well to lose and keep a lid on our confidence.
