It was a good weekend for our junior teams all enjoying winning ways. On Saturday 29th April, the Under 13s beat Sheffield Hawks u13s 38-20 and in Cup games, the Under 12s had a convincing 52-8 win over Swillington in the Under 12s Challenge Cup and the Under 14s had a sizeable win over Featherstone Lions U14s 50-8. Meanwhile our Under 10s were showing the crowd down at the Wakefield Trinity match against Catalan Dragons some entertaining half time playing. Their enthusiasm and energy shone through and once again one of our junior teams was a credit to the club. Well done.
