Most people will have seen the various sites and noticed that the under
11s are the only team that have not got results and match reports posted, this is a decision that we have made as in a nutshell the results dont matter. At the start of the season we had 13 players signed on to play and this has now risen to the present figure of 20 and we can only play 11 at any one time!!! This causes a headache but it is a welcome one for all involved on the coaching side and the whole youth section is in real rude health at the moment. The team have played a number of games and we have seen the full spectrum, clubs who take the game too seriously and have a real play to win mentality and others who just want to see a team in there clubs jersey - we fall somewhere in between. Performances have been up and down with good and bad performances but the kids have learned from every game that they have played in and are improving all the time and most importantly are bonding as a team and learning qualities that will set them on the right path whatever they may decide to do with there lives. The season is coming towards an end now and we will continue to focus not on winning and not on trophies but on making rugby league enjoyable and improving the lads as both players and young men.
