ive just been told miners u18s lost 32-nil to celtic in their grand final



awaiting confirmation

Thats a shame and from the 2 matches I have seen between them this year I would not have predicted a scoreline like that in a million years.

And what did I say, I knew this would happen. I woonder what happened there.

Congrats to all concerned with both Miners and Crusaders. To go unbeaten in the League is a hard thing to do and very commendable. On a similar note to win the GF in what is most of the teams first year against a set up that runs from U7's up deserves similar credit also.

Appreciated, but the miners put out their team that played all season - not a team that brought 6 from their U21's. Although still U18 these lads have been brought in from various areas of the UK and teams to play U21 and are all on their way to pro NOT amateur. Which was amazingly apparent - u can't get beat with around 40 points then turn up and do that today.



In many peoples opinion out of order - but in the eyes of the RFL - Totally acceptable.

Correct - they brought in 8 / 9 / 10 / 6 / 13 / 1 - these players did not play in any of the two games.

What rule did they break?

No rules broken (I think).



If you got chance to see the game it was like men against boys - the Celtic players where massively more physical and skillful. Don't think the Miners can complain.



The lads who came in for Celtic have been recruited to play SL Level from areas of the UK not to play in the amatuer arena.



Just think it was unfair to this to both lads from both sets of teams - don't forget lads on the celtic side had to drop out to accomodate the u21s lads.



Not a good advert. If you saw the final last year it was 2 good amatuer U18 sides playing at a similar level. What you saw today was a team who got beat in the league by an average of 40 points turn up with a side that made a mockery of the final of a great amatuer event.
