The mighty Sharlston Rovers this afternoon won the BARLA National cup, beating Fryston 20 - 18 in a dramatic final at Fylde RUFC.
The winning try was scored with about thirty seconds left on the clock. The ref blew straight aftter the failed conversion attempt.

Good game, and well worth the drive to Blackpool and the £6 entrance fee.

just read moors report which took 7 days moore (see what i did there ) than when they won ... crigg should hang there heads in shame asking for as many of the team to be available to play as possible. to be fair the ref should of made sure that it was 12 a side at all times and that although inconvenient crigg would have to have 6 subs . it makes the victory look a sham to realise that moore had to put up with there 12 players getting into a game plan .

im that annoyed about this i think that if any video or dvd evidence exists then it should be hand delivered to the houses of parliament for the sports committee to raise as an urgent question . the same happened the week befor at cas would you know.

staninngley away this week.... i shall be counting

no he isn't, mr bray refused him so had to appeal..don't know charlie bray from adam but some things don't seem quite right, how can 1 person make decisions on an 11 year old kid ? what he is saying is that because he played under 12 he cannot transfer until next season..i can't see anything in the rules but it is "unwritten!" i am glad football at junior level has a semblance of professionalism! little un is a bit upset about it all and can't really understand it...

I think when you're a parent it's quite easy to be blinkered when it comes to your own child's team. Whilst it may be amusing to ridicule other clubs and coaches, I think you need to remember that it's an amateur sport and the coach in question gives up a lot of his own time to coach these kids, as well as being a parent himself. I know for a fact he will do anything to look after those players, and I don't think you can ask for anymore than that, regardless of whether you're Crigg, Eastmoor or anyone else. I think anyone who gives up their own time deserves a little bit more respect than bashing on a public forum, especially when you've given as much to the game as him and his family.

As you said, they're also struggling to get a full side together each week. Trust me, it's not much fun when, as a 9/10/11 year old, you turn up on a match day not really knowing whether you'll have enough players to actually start the game. And then you get comments like "in fact just coming home with nothing stolen is a bonus". If someone comes on here and is thinking of taking their kids to a local club, they would not take them to Eastmoor when they read things like that. And then you wonder why they turn up with 12 players. It's a shame, as Eastmoor is a cracking club. I know how frustrating junior rugby can get, but I think people need to remember that it is just that, junior rugby.

so your finally making the move .

its shocking the way how some behave when a transfer is put in its just bitterness , why players at this age can not just move is beyond me .... maybe we need a bosman ruling .
anyways good luck at stanley a top club imho even if the CABs will give me grief for saying so

If I remember correctly, the rules on transferring between clubs were drawn up due to Stanley Rangers pulling together the entire Yorkshire side from different clubs at Under 15 level around 16 years ago. Most of the players then went on to sign for Halifax I think. Chris Chester was the star player.

I have to agree - the results of local amateur and junior teams is interesting; the petty sniping and inter-club politics of said teams is most definitely not.
