Sharlston Rovers youngsters crown fantastic season by making it three from three
Sharlston Rovers U12s have completed an unforgettable season by winning all three of their cup finals.
The youngsters had already won the Challenge Cup and Wakefield District Cup and made it a treble success when they triumphed in the BARLA Yorkshire Cup final.
In a hard fought match played at Castleford Tigers’ OneBore Stadium they defeated Elland Black 12-8 to cap off their incredible campaign on what was another memorable occasion for the players, coaches, families and supporters..
Sharlston came away with the victory after another brilliant team performance, but the Elland players showed tremendous effort throughout the final and played some fantastic rugby themselves, contributing to a great contest.
Leading Sharlston onto the field was captain Archie Myers, proudly captaining his teammates for the final time this season.
Their tries came from Samuel Hemming and Tommy Marsden, while Oscar Jackson produced an outstanding performance to be named man of the match.
Behind this incredible group of young players have been coaches Kyle Trout and Adam Myers, whose hard work, commitment and dedication throughout the season have helped guide the boys through three cup campaigns and three successful finals.
“Countless hours of training, preparation and encouragement have gone into what has become a season to remember,” said team manager Tara McKeith.
"The final victory represented much more than just one result.
“It has been a season filled with hard work, determination, friendship and memories that these young players, coaches and their families will carry with them for years to come.
"From the opening game to the final whistle of their last final, the boys have represented Sharlston Rovers with pride.
"It was an incredible achievement for the players, captain Archie Myers, coaches Kyle Trout and Adam Myers, and everyone who has supported the team throughout their journey. Three out three – what a season!”
