YORKSHIRE JUNIOR CUP FINALS 2010

The Cup Finals were once again played at Featherstone Rovers Ground for the 21st time and what a spectacle they turned out to be on both days, the Challenge Cup Finals were very well supported by the Clubs and the supporters of the Continuation Cup Finalists were very vocal in there support for the teams.
Our thanks to the officials on both days from the different Societies who did a fantastic job in controlling all the games, when there is so much at stake and the crowd are contesting every decision it's a no win situation for them but all the officials were very professional in the way they refereed and controlled the games.

Although the U12s result looks a little one sided but both teams played with loads of enthusiasm and displayed some flowing rugby and Stanley never gave up throughout but it was the all round strength and finishing of Hunslet Parkside that proved too strong on the day.
The U13s game saw Milford take an early lead but Drighlington made them pay later in the game with tries in quick succession to keep both teams always in contention but Milford then finished the stronger to go on and become worthy winners.
The U14s was again a closely fought game throughout with the scores going from one team to the other keeping the spectators on the edge of their seats. Stanley Rangers coming out on top of a gritty Dewsbury Moor side at the final whistle.
The U15s turned out to be a classic with Hunslet Warriors only having 13 players they had an uphill battle against a Shaw Cross team fielding a strong side. The game went from end to end and with 5 minutes remaining Hunslet Warriors took the lead but Shaw Cross regained from the kick off to go over in the dying minutes to win the game.

The Continuation Cup finals proved to be a fantastic day of rugby league with every game being fought out until the final whistle which kept the enthusiastic spectators and Management on our toes throughout the day. These finals were a credit to all the teams taking part.
The U12s game started with Wetherby scoring almost from the start of the game and then the plucky Cas Lock Lane team who only had 13 players replied in the corner it then went from end to end throughout the game with Cas Lock lane just edging out Wetherby in the end.
The U13s took on the same lines as the U12s with both sides scoring end to end tries to keep the spectators on their toes throughout the game and it was Garforth who came out of this worthy winners beating a very spirited Upton side.
The U14s was contested by Hunslet Warriors and new to our league this season Keighley Cougar Cubs and once again these two sides produced a game that had the spectators on the edge of their seats first one side scored and then the other and was only decided in the last few minutes when Hunslet came out winners at the final whistle.
What a finale to the day provided by Dewsbury Moor and Churwell Chiefs U15s, both teams displaying some skillfull rugby and no holds barred tackling with some dogged defence throughout and strong running by both teams this game went to the wire and again with both sides scoring end to end it was only decided at the final whistle with Dewsbury Moor coming out winners.
We would like to thank Featherstone for providing us with a fantastic venue for the Clubs to play at.
