| PLAYERS IN THE NEWS |
17.06.08
Two Stanley Rangers' players have been recently involved in representative games. Richard Cattley and Danny Duce have both been playing in competitions at home and abroad.
 Richard, one of two players from Wakefield, was part of the BARLA Great Britain U23s side that retained the Simone Franchini International Nines Trophy in Italy despite violent scenes on the pitch. The squad was divided into two teams - the Blues and the Reds - and overall the Reds came out winners in the final as 23-4 winners over BARLA Blues in the final of the competition. However,the BARLA side had to consider their participation in the tournament in Padua, Italy, after violent scenes caused a premature halt to the Reds' clash with French side Ile De Paris, which saw BARLA leading 22-4 before it was abandoned on the hour mark.
 Danny was part of the successful Wakefield ARL side that beat Leeds ARL 42-20 in the Inter-Town Competition on Saturday 14 June. This is the long-awaited inter-town amateur rugby league competition involving Castleford and Featherstone, Wakefield and Leeds district leagues which finishes with the Grand Final on Sunday, July 19. Following their defeat against Castleford and Featherstone on the opening day of the Inter-Town series, the Wakefield side built up a 28-point lead in as many minutes at Sharlston. Duce scored a try in the second period. Wakefield will next be in action against Castleford & Featherstone at Sharlston on Saturday 28th June.

| UNDER 14S SO UNLUCKY |
| 27.05.08
The Under 14s took on Westgate Redoubt in the final of the Wakefield Cup on Thursday 22nd May and were desperately unlucky to be beaten by a try in the last minute. After trailing 12-0, the Rangers fought back to take a first half lead. In the second half, the lead see-sawed between the two sides and a Jack Wronski try evened the scores but a last-minute try from Westgate saw them retain the trophy.
The Under 14s will be holding their Presentation Evening on Sunday 14th June at the clubhouse. |
| UNDER 18S FUNDRAISING NEWS |
| 25.05.08
 The Under 18s have arranged a number of fundraising events in aid of the three team members who are going to Australia on the BARLA Under 18s tour. This tour is costing them each £1750 to go on and so all the funds raised will be most valuable to help the lads.
On Sunday 25th May, there will be a Curry Night. This starts at 4pm onwards at the clubhouse. Then on Friday 30th May, there will be a lively evening dog racing at the Kinsley Dog Track. The cost of this is only £5 per ticket and you will have a great night out! The final event is on Tuesday 17th June. This will be an evening with Barry Macdermott and Terry O'Connor. There will be a buffet, a comedian and an auction of rugby league memorabillia as well as two of the funniest and sharpest rugby commentators on the scene, as anyone who listens to Radio Leeds will know. This event will be held at Crofton Community Centre and starts at 7.30pm.
If anyone wants tickets for any of these events, please contact Lynda Grice (07909 866976) or email stanleyrangers@aol.com. |
