Pity they couldn't hang on tothe lead but a good result none the less!

[spanishknight]

Some good young lads played for the Knights.

[Nige Arro]

Great all round performance, thought Johnson and sharp looked really good. All coming together nicely.

[Nearenough]

Yep that was a really promising performance today, Johnson looked very lively, and I was impressed by our two new lads on the wings. Jubby looks the real deal. The trialists (no idea which was which) all looked very assured and showed a few nice touches. I'd be surprised if they don't progress. Suddenly we seem to have the strength in depth we will need in this league.

Onwards ever onwards!

[White Knight]

Indeed, and all without Keinhorst, Whiteley, Brining and Dixon.

Love the reactions to pre-season games. Fev 12-4 down, 5 minutes left, their fans giving it "It's been a good run out, they don't mean anything these games, just a training exercise anyway, blow off a few cobwebs, there's loads of kids in the team" then they score a try to level it at the death and the drum comes out and they celebrate like they've won the cup.

And dont forget the white lettering on the back of the Knights shirts, could hardly make the names out.

but that's  all they are like it or not  FEV treat them as glorified training sessions and try to play as many players as they can remember last pre season hunslet parkside beat a FEV team and our season didn't fall off the rails  

and for the drummer he's a young lad who bangs it every time FEV score or other teams mess up even if FEV are losing and him and his young mates  in family stand  unlike us wrinkleys who've seen it and done it all before celebate everything with youthful  exuberance

I'd gone before it was levelled up, frozen and bored, typical pre season friendly really, I only go as its revenue for the club. Fev had a decent side out 1st half and was pretty pleased with the new lads I saw, 2nd half was 10 kids with 3 senior players rotating basically, thought the kids did ok and stood up to a decent York pack.Thought Green went well for you and your halfs seemed to have a bit more structure than ours, but dont think either team will have done much attacking structure at this stage. Result irrelevant to coachs really, all about looking at a few things and bit of game time for the lads. Think both coachs will have been satisfied at were their teams are at this stage. York have a few out and fev have atleast half a dozen to come in, so should be great games again when it matters in the league.
