NCL GAME DAYS

4th May 2.30pm – AWAY 

11TH May 2.30pm – HOME 

18th May 2.30pm – BYE

Word from our head coach and director of rugby - Daz Fisher 

u​Our NCL squad returned to the Millpond for our fixture against Drig and just shows the level we need to be achieving and unfortunately our start hasn’t been great…different 17 each week can take its toll on momentum and also the disruption with the team dynamics. On a plus side every player has had an opportunity to play and few of our U18s have also gained debuts so that’s pleasing that they have seen the level of the NCL and to set objectives for their own performance goals to achieve. Similar scenario with our National Cup run, a few missing players we’d have had the experience to push on with the half time lead however fish and chip paper now. Each week see new challenges of some bashed up bodies at the moment but it’s pleasing to see some of the old Fev Lions from previous years starting to come back and help push our NCL season, with that said the likes of Wisey loving rolling back the years! May brings us away against Beverley which will be a tough place to visit and then the week after we return home for our only 2nd game 5months in.

U16 SCHOLARSHIP PLAYERS

Congratulations to a further two U16 players who have returned from injury and were selected for their scholarship fixtures on the 17th April clash. Billy Wilson played for Cas Tigers and Max Hobson played for Wakefield Trinity. Well done for coming back strong!
