Review of the 2010 - 11 Season - The Under 7's
The 7's squad played their first full season of competitive mini rugby and had a great season winning trophies at the festivals and scoring 465 tries with Ted Grogan setting a new trying scoring record.

With the squad continualy growing as new recruits and 6 year old micros joined the squad throughout the season they were able to field 2 sides the Sharks and the Tigers most weeks. This allows everyone in the squad to play competitive games. The squad increased in numbers weekly and by the end of the season they had 18 players.

The benefit of running a Micros squad is obviously paying dividends. For the third season running the Young Guns had a good season competing well in all their games. They started the season well winning the Morley Floodlit Trophy and only losing five games before the Xmas break. The bad weather and Christmas break saw the young guns only play 1 game in 5 weeks although they were able to train in the school sports hall. This did not seem to disrupt the squad and hit a purple patch in January/ February only losing 3 of their 16 games. Things looked good for the final run into the festival season and brought back trophies from Brods, Sandal and Driffield Festivals. Ted Grogan set a new scoring record with 100 tries with Jon Baker fast on his heels with 97 tries. Well done boys. They finished the season strongly only losing two of their remaining 15 games. The playing record for the 2 teams was P 65 W 38 D 8 L 19 F 465 A 388. The top try scorers were Ted Grogan 100, Jon Baker 87 Ethan Grogan 54.

Review of 2009 - 10 Season - The Under 6's (The Micros)
The under 6's (The micros) had a very successful and enjoyable season. With new players arriving at the club throughout the year the squad has grown to a very healthy 20 players.

The under 6 section, known as the micros allows children aged 4 and 5 to start learning how to play tag rugby. They do not play competitive games until they reach their sixth birthday then they can join in with the under 7's squad and play competitive games. They train on Sunday mornings and occasionally travel with the under 7's to train with the opposition.

This season Neal Lumb, Darren Grogan, Guy Laurie and Warren Doyle coached the squad. with four coaches we were able to split the squad into 2 groups, the under 5's and under 6. As the players reach their sixth birthday they have joined in with the under 7's squad to play competitive games. All those players have performed well with several picking up man of the match awards. The highlight being able to take part in the Harrogate Festivals as part of the squad and winning the Festival under 7 trophy. Taking this into consideration the players did themselves and the club proud.

The micros have trained every week and during the season we invited Huddersfield YMCA micros to come down and join in a training session and play tag rugby. The session worked well and we returned the compliment by travelling to YM for a session. We plan to find another suitable club to join in next season. The basis of next seasons under 7 squad is now in place with 2 parents willing to coach the squad. We will look for another 2 parents to help the coaches as we feel this squad needs 4 coaches to develop the players.

Under 6's Squad Jack Lumb, Edward Grogan, Thomas Doyle, William Adams, William Boom, Jack Brooke, Ben Collins, William Davidson, Owen Davis, Taylor Dodd, Joshua Dodd, Ben Hygate, Sophie Hygate, Bobbie White, Isobelle Shaw, Toby Laurie, Oliver Walton, Daniel Bentham, Jon Barker, Oscar Rowe, Isaac Burbidge, Femi Crowther, Ben Gianotti
