The draws for Round 1 of the 2015 BARLA Youth & Junior National Cups have been made for the Under 18, 16 and 14’s competition respectively, with clubs competing from Cumbria, Lancashire and Yorkshire, to become the top dog in the country.
In the Under 18’s Cup West Hull who won this age group last year have been drawn at home to Halton Farnworth Hornets, Stanley Rangers who won the age group last year have been drawn at home to Castleford Panthers and last years Under 14 winners East Hull this year have not entered a team in that age group.

BARLA Vice Chair Steve Manning
“The draw for the BARLA National Youth and Junior Cups have been made and I would like to thank the North West Counties Youth League, Yorkshire Juniors League, West Cumbria Youth & Junior League as well as the respective RFL Competition Managers for their assistance for clubs who have entered.
“ The Youth & Junior side of the amateur game is alive and kicking has can be seen from the entrants in each age group and I am sure all competitions are going to be competitive as they all strive to be the best at the respective age group.
“It’s all about the luck of the draw, some clubs happy with a home draw, away clubs having to arrange how they get to their opponents. I hope whether clubs are home or away that they all enjoy their impending journeys in 2015.
