💛🖤🏉 U10s v Sherburn Bears 🏉💛🖤

On Saturday, Swillington travelled to play a new opposition - Sherburn Bears ARLFC, who gave us a warm welcome to their grounds.

And when I say warm - it really was, as we were greeted with blue skies and hot sunshine (and whiffs of bacon!). The coaches already knew it would be warm, and with both sides having similar numbers, opted for one game of 9v9 (with subs) split into quarters to allow for plenty of water breaks to keep the kids cool.

Despite the heat, the boys seemed energised and ready to play. It was great to see some real structure to the team with players relishing being in newly designated positions.

Following on from previous weeks game, it was again pleasing to hear plenty of communication on the pitch and to see some great passing and offloads out of tackles - which we were recognised for by the oppo coaches.

The heat may have affected us a little midway through however, as we lost our shape and conceded some tries, but Swillington continued to battle hard against some really strong and quick attacks from Sherburn.

The boys seemed to re-energize and their defensive effort in the last 5-10mins was amazing as the Swillington boys put in a big shift to be proud of to hold back the Bears, in what was one of the best performances we have seen this season.

Big thanks to coach Mark and Nick, the rest of the Bears coaching team, and all the players for some great performances and really entertaining games of rugby.

Well done to all the kids who played - they should be really proud of their efforts in that heat for keeping going and were a credit to their respective clubs. Also a BIG shout out to all our certificate winners who were recognised for their performances on the pitch.

Tomorrow, we are on the road again as we head over to York Acorn for the reverse fixture. We played a strong York team at home in our first U10s league game.

So, Let's get ready to cheer on our kids again.

See you there! 💛🖤

💛🖤🏉 SPONSORS WE NEED YOU 🏉💛🖤

We are continuing to invest in our equipment and we are looking to purchase two large custom gazebos which will be used for our events (community events, galas, festivals etc) and represent our club locally and nationally in time for our busy summer schedule.

We have nearly 120 kids now across our Giants (2-5 years), SEN group, Under 6s, 7s, 8s, 9s and 10s age groups - and are continuing to grow every week.

This is a very large investment for our club and we are looking to local and national businesses to help us fund them - we have 16 sponsor slots and have already filled 8 of them. Thank you to those who have committed so far.

Our aim is to use there for the next 5+ years - hopefully longer!

❓ What do you get?

Your business logo will be on display on the front and back of the main wall on both of the gazebos we are looking to purchase. You will also feature on our website and social media posts.

💰 What does it cost?

Just £150 a space - that’s just 57p a week (based on 5 years usage)

👀 What does it look like?

See the mockup and the sponsor wall (which will be on the back)

💛🖤🏉 U10s v Ossett Trinity Tigers 🏉💛🖤

On Saturday, we welcomed Ossett Trinity Tigers U10s to Swillington after their busy weekend at Butlins' Rhinos Challenge festival. The two sides last met at our summer gala last year, so it was great to be back playing against each other once again.

The sun was shining in Swillington and with plenty of players available for both teams, we knew we were in for a great morning of rugby.

This time the coaches agreed on playing 2 games of 7/8 aside first, before finishing with a 9v9 match on the full pitch.

It was pleasing to hear much more communication on the pitch and to see more passing and offloads out of tackles.

Swillington continued to battle hard against another defensively strong team but struggled to break through and cross the white wash.

Despite not being rewarded with the tries, the Swillington boys can be pleased as there was plenty of good skills and some strong individual displays and leadership in the matches.

Thanks to Jonjo and the Tigers coaching team, and all the players for some great performances and entertaining games of rugby, all played in the spirit of the game.

Well done to all the kids who played - they were a credit to their respective clubs. Also a BIG shout out to all our certificate winners who were recognised for their great efforts.

This Saturday, we have a rare rugby free bank holiday weekend before we go again the following Saturday. We travel away to Sherburn Bears ARLFC, a team who we haven't played before.

So, Let's get ready to cheer on our boys again.

See you there! 💛🖤

💛🖤🏉 U10s v Doncaster Toll Bar 🏉💛🖤

On Saturday, our U10 boys were on the road and headed down the A1 as visitors at Doncaster Toll Bar ARLFC - a team we haven't played for 4 years!

We left behind a very rainy morning in Swillington, to be greeted in Doncaster with the sun shining. The boys were ready and looking forward to playing some rugby. Both teams had decent numbers and the coaches agreed to play one match of 9v9 with a few rolling subs, in 10min quarters.

Unlike the previous week, the Swillington boys got off to a cracking start and played some great rugby to work some quality tries.
However, Doncaster soon grew into the game from the second quarter as we started to lose some shape and a bit of our momentum with several changes needing to be made for injuries following some hard hits. Doncaster didn't need much more of an invite and started to show off their skills in attack and were rewarded with some tries.

Swillington continued to work hard against a strong and well organised Doncaster Toll Bar team.

A good effort from Swillington with some pleasing individual performances to be proud of. Line speed was better but one to work on more at training along with more purposeful running.

Thanks to Scott, and the Toll Bar coaching team, and all the players for hosting us.

Well done to all the kids who played, and a BIG shout out to all our certificate winners who were recognised for their great efforts.

Tomorrow we are at home as we welcome Ossett Trinity Tigers back, having met last time at our gala last summer.

Let's get behind them and cheer on our boys. See you there! 💛🖤

💛🖤🏉 U10s v Batley ARLFC 🏉💛🖤

On Saturday, our U10 boys were back at home as we welcomed Batley ARLFC to Swillington - a team we last played as U8s.

It was a glorious day for it and we were excited for the match ahead. Both teams were quite low on numbers so the coaches had agreed to play one match of 9v9 with a few rolling subs, for the 40mins.

Swillington were a little slow off the mark, but grew more and more into the game as time ticked on. They had to work hard together against a well drilled Batley team to get through their defence. There was some cracking rugby on display from both sides.

A much improved team performance overall, with some strong Swillington defence and some pleasing individual skills on display. Plenty to work on with line speed and running with purpose, but also plenty of positives to be proud of.

Thanks to Chris, Ryan and the coaching team, and all the Batley players. All the players are a credit to the clubs as the games were played in the right spirit.

Both sets of teams were refuelled with half time oranges 🍊 donated by Tesco - thank you👏

Well done to all the kids who played, and a BIG shout out to all our certificate winners who were recognised for their great efforts.

Tomorrow we are back on the road as we head down the A1 to play Doncaster Toll Bar ARLFC - a team we haven't played for 4 years!

Let's get behind them and cheer on our boys.

See you there!

💛🖤🏉 STRONG AND HEALTHY GIANTS 🏉💛🖤

Yesterday our Giants group trained for a fun session indoors (last minute change due to the bad weather!) and we had a fun hour with lots of games learning new some new skills and working on things we’ve already been learning!

The kids were also happy to receive some fruit after their session thanks to Tesco for providing it as part of our focus on healthy eating, as well as getting their new sticker charts.

A massive thank you to our sponsor Tong Park Cars Leeds for their continued support of our club and this group.

See you all on Sunday at 9:30am 👏

💛🖤🏉 U10s v HULL WYKE & STANNINGLEY ARLFC 🏉💛🖤

What a weekend of rugby for our U10s.

First up was some late night rugby when 8 of our Swillington U10 boys headed to The Onebore Stadium on Friday to take part in an evening festival of rugby at Castleford. Walking out onto the Tigers pitch before the main game, we played 2 strong teams from Hull Wyke Rugby League.

They breed them big in Hull, but that didn't stop our boys as they never gave up tackling hard and working together in both games. It was a tough couple of games, with a strong display of rugby from Wyke, but the effort throughout from Swillington could not be faulted and we watched on as very proud coaches.

After the festival, the U10s had the honour of being flag bearers for Castleford Tigers as the Super League players ran out onto the pitch ahead of their clash with Hull FC. An amazing evening of rugby making great memories together as a team.

It was then home, straight to bed and then back at it first thing Saturday morning as we welcomed Stanningley to Swillington for our 3rd league game of the season.
The temperatures were up, but our numbers were down, and there were also a few tired and bruised bodies from the night before, so we were pleased that Stanningley were able to lend a few players which meant the games worked and all the kids got to play some rugby.
It was pleasing to see some good team defence and great individual skills on display at times for Swillington against a strong squad from Stanningley.

As always, lots of positives to take away, but also plenty of things to improve and work on.
Thanks to Jordan and the coaching team, and all the Stanningley players.

Well done to all the kids who played, and a BIG shout out to all our certificate winners, especially Noah, who played in his first league game for Swillington. Great effort.

This coming Saturday, we are hosts again as we welcome Batley ARLFC U10s to our grounds - who we last played at U8s.

Let's get behind the boys. See you there!

💛🖤🏉 FRIDAY FUN 🏉💛🖤

We want to say a BIG thank you to Castleford Tigers Foundation for inviting us to take part in the rugby festival yesterday before the Castleford Tigers vs Hull FC Super League match last night.

We always love our trips there and it was great to see our Under 6s and Under 10s take part in the pre-match festival with some fun games of rugby and some amazing skills on display!

Not much rest of our kids, coaches, volunteers and parents as our 10s play today against Stanningley Rugby Club and our 6s against Ossett Trinity Tigers tomorrow.
