Lock Lane youngsters win BARLA Yorkshire Cup for fourth year in a row

Up against Greetland Allrounders in a game played at Featherstone Rovers’ Millennium Stadium, the Castleford youngsters made it four wins in succession in the competition when they ran out 8-0 winners.

Their latest success added another trophy for the impressive Lock Lane lads who have now been Yorkshire Youth League champions four years in a row, Challenge Cup winners three times in succession a row and BARLA Cup victors four times.

Greetland Allrounders gave them a tough test, but were unable to break through a strong Lane defence.

Defences of both teams were on top, but Horton scored the only try of the final for Lock Lane after collecting a Smith offload.

Singer converted the try and also landed a penalty goal as Lane were able to battle it out for victory.

They had knocked Kippax Welfare U15s out 18-12 in the semi-finals.

There were four junior Yorkshire finals played on a busy afternoon at Post Office Road.

The under 12s final kicked off proceedings with Normanton Knights defeating Mirfield ARLFC 16-0.

Myton Warriors Greens beat Siddal 36-10 in the under 13s final and West Hull came out on top 24-0 against Birkenshaw Bluedogs in the under 14s match.

Earlier this month Kippax Welfare won the BARLA Supplementary Under 12 Yorkshire Cup final at the Featherstone ground when they beat Drighlington 16-8.
