Read how the Eagles Reserve Side Are Progressing In 2009

Sheffield started superbly and raced into a 16-0 lead after half and hour. Gavin Brown and Ben Price both spotted gaps and scored in under six minutes and Price was in again after thirty. A sloppy five minutes before half time allowed York to close the gap to two at the break. Tries from Wildbore, Chris Peacock and Tom Stancliffe made it 14-16 at the turnaround.

York scored first in the second half through Wildbore but then a great pass by Brown put Jamie Cottle through a gap and we were level again at 20-20.

The fitness started to show and with twenty minutes left the Knights pulled away to victory with two more tries from Wildbore and one from Centre Adam Caddie. Wildbore also added a drop goal and York ran out comfortable 39-20 winners in a game that was a lot closer than the score suggests.

The Sheffield players and staff deserve credit for their outstanding progressive work this year and can look forward to next year with great optimism.

Sheffield Eagles 18-60 Hunslet Hawks
 

Sheffield Eagles Reserves we taught another harsh lesson as Hunslet ran out comfortable winners on another bright Saturday in Hillsborough.

Hunslet got the first try on just four minutes through Stand off Chris Redfearn but Sheffield were level with Greg Pygott crossing after a penalty.

From them on the Hawks imposed themselves on the game and further scores from Props Ben Walkin and Joe Howey and Winger Scott Childs with two to make it 6-28 at the break.

The pattern followed suit in the second half, Howey adding two more tries before the Eagles good efforts were rewarded with a try for Centre Dan Townson. Walking then powered over for his second before excellent Sheffield groundwork provided Luke Holt with a chance to pounce and score.

Further Hunslet tries followed from Full Back Tom Sheldrake, Backrowers Nathan Goodman and John Richardson to complete the scoring.

Sheffield Eagles 26 v Dewsbury Rams 30 (played at Dewsbury)

Two missed conversions cost Sheffield a deserved share of the spoils in the re-arranged Reserve game played at Dewsbury on Wednesday night.

Sheffield and Dewsbury shared ten tries in an exciting game but Pat Walkers five from five with the boot ensured a narrow victory for the “home” side.

The game started brightly for the Eagles when after just eight minutes outstanding Full-Back Jamie Cottle superbly sprinted through a gap to score the first of his three tries. Greg Pygott landed the goal for an early 6-0 lead.

Dewsbury were back on level terms on fourteen minutes after Sheffield gave them field position with a penalty for offside. Prop James Lockwood going over by the posts and Walkers first of five made it 6-6. Sheffield re-gathered from the kick off but were unable to capitalize.

Following a Sheffield Knock-on, Dewbsury were next on the board when on the third tackle Walker bulldozed his way over and converted his own try on twenty-one minutes.

Dewsbury scored two tries in rapid succession just before half time to put a slightly unfair slant on the scoreboard. Firstly Winger Morgan Starkey went over on the last tackle after Greg Pygott failed to find touch from a penalty and then Back Row Forward Liam Crawley scored also on the last tackle right on the whistle for a Rams lead of 24-6 at the break.

Sheffield were quick to respond after the break, just six minutes in Cottle had his second after Eddie Battye had been held up over the line and it was 24-12.

Dewsbury scored their fifth and last of the night on fifty minutes through Allistar McMaster and at 30-12 the game looked almost over. Sheffield didn’t agree and fought back with a touchdown from Mark Renshaw-Smith  thirteen minutes later. Pygott missed his first and the score was 30-16 after sixty three minutes.

Sheffield were in again just two minutes later with Cottle’s hat-trick try straight from the scrum base after the Dewsbury defender put a foot in touch.

Dewsbury put the restart out on the full and Sheffield applied the pressure but errors and good defence meant that by the time Sheffield scored their last try their wasn’t enough time left for the restart. Joe Groves got the try and Pygott narrowly missed the conversion to make the final score 30-26 to the Rams.

Sheffield Eagles 12-50 Leigh Centurions

An outstanding first half showing by Sheffield against tough opposition ended up coming to nothing on Saturday afternoon at Hillsborough Arena.

With over 70% completion and some excellent defence, the Eagles were level at 12-12 at half time after recovering from 10-0 down.

Leigh were first to strike after Sheffield had had the better of the opening exchanges on 14 minutes, fullback Dean Dollin getting over in the left corner for a 4-0 lead. Leigh were in again just four minutes later with Dean Hatton intercepting a Jamie Cottle pass to race over and convert his own try for 10-0.

Sheffield then stepped up a gear and on the back of good build up work were on the scoreboard through Sub Dan Cribbis, Greg Pygott converting to bring the home side back into the game. Five minutes later Sheffield were ahead. Dan Townson finishing off after an interception by Pygott who then kicked the goal to go 12-10 ahead.

On the stroke of half time Leigh equalised with a penalty from Hatton after the Eagles were caught offside defending close to their line.

In the second half Leigh stamped their authority on the game, Dollin got his second try in the corner after a kick and then Andy Ainscough went through a gap and suddenly the lead was 20-12. Sheffield then tried to force their way back into the game but a moment of high controversy put the visitors further ahead.

Sheffield held up the Leigh attacker on the last but instead of awarding a turnover, the referee gave Leigh an extra tackle from which they scored. This try was effectively the gamebreaker. Despite flashes of good skill from the home side, the Centrurions rounded the game out with tries from Lee Wingfield, James Richies, Wingfield again with an eighty meter breakaway and Martin Ridyard. Hatton finishing with seven goals from ten attempts.

Featherstone visit next week and Sheffield can look to build on that first half display with optimism.

The young Sheffield side were on the back foot from the start after spilling the kick off and then being forced to drop out twice in the first four minutes. Inevitable Leigh were first on the board after Centre Dean Dollin scored in the far left corner after a high kick. Dean Hatton missing the conversion attempt.

Further scores from Jordan Gibson after a 40-20 and Sean MacDonald made it 16-0 before the visitors registered their first points, Jamie Cottle getting over after good work by Ed Battye following a rare Leigh error.

After the last score of the half from Ryan Powell after half an hour, Sheffield competed well but their inability to retain the ball was giving Leigh extra sets to force pressure.

The pressure told just a minute after the restart, Hatton scoring and converting his own try. Sub Ryan O’Toole, Prop Danny Meakin, Centre Sam Raey,  Dean Dollin again and Ritchie Shaw all scoring in the space of fifteen minutes and Sheffield were 56-6 down and the game was gone, they simply could not get possession of the ball back, not for the lack of effort for by visitors, who did compete well in spells with the ball in hand.

Winger Gareth Thomas scored from a superb high kick by Gibson on 64 minutes to increase the lead but Sheffield struck next. Another good break from Battye allowing Ade Adeyire go crash over by the posts.

Leigh rounded the game off with scores from Powell and Back Row Forward Andy Ainscough to secure a comfortable win.

Hunslet Hawks 32-22 Sheffield Eagles
Reserve Team First Division
Friday 19^th June 2009
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…..

The proverbial match of two halves became reality on Friday night at South Leeds Stadium as Sheffield Eagles Reserves threw away a twenty two point lead and crashed to defeat.

The game started well for the visitors, forcing Hunslet to make errors and gaining field position. Hooker Kyle Kesik was first to strike on just six minutes with a superb run from dummy half to cross by the posts. Pygott tagging on the extra two. Just four minutes later on the back of a penalty Ashley Thackeray went over in the corner to extend the lead but this time Pygott missed from out wide. 

Just three minutes later the eagles were in again, Kyle Kesik with a virtual carbon copy of his first try, Pygott was successful this time and Sheffield were 16-0 to the good after just thirteen minutes. 

The game then got scrappy for fifteen minutes with lots of errors and penalties for both sides before the visitors got their fourth try after half an hour when some superb offloading bamboozled the home defence and allowed Thackeray to squeeze over out wide for his second of the night, Pygott again successful for 22-0. 

Then it all started to go wrong. After a couple of earlier close calls Hunslet finally troubled the scorers after a half break by Centre Ryan Glynn from the base of the scrum and Ian Gordon added the extras to cut the lead to 6-22 at half time.

 The second half proved to be a disaster for the Eagles as errors and penalties meant they couldn’t get hold of the ball for long enough to add to their total whilst Hunslet used their possession to good effect to claw the deficit back. Loose Forward Scott Bradley was first on 49 minutes on the back of one of the many penalties awarded in the match, and just three minutes later Prop Ben Walkin was over and with both conversions the Hawks were now just four behind.

Hunslet were then ahead on 58 minutes when Glynn scored his second from the scrum base after Sheffield Knocked On trying to intercept. With the conversion they were now two ahead. Gordon then knocked a penalty after Sheffield incorrectly played the ball.

Hunslet’s fifth try from Louis Stead on 64 was again from a penalty and from twenty two down the home side were ten ahead. Sheffield looked to be back on the game with eight to go but Thackeray was judged to have grounded the ball on the touchline. Ultimately poor completion and errors cost Sheffield and Hunslet held on for the win.

Hunslet: Tom Sheldrake, Luke Rayner, Ryan Glynn, Michael Brown, Scott Childs, Ian Gordon, Craig Fawcett, Jason Hart, Stuart Young, Ben Walkin, Joe Howey, Luke Lacey, Scott Bradley, Louis Stead, Tom Crosby, Steve Hayward, Leonard van Voorthuesen.

Tries: Glynn 35 58, Bradley 49, Walkin 52, Stead 64

Goals: Gordon 6/6

Sheffield Eagles Reserves 25-24 Widnes Vikings Reserves

Sheffield Eagles Reserves avenged their heavy defeat three weeks ago on Merseyside in thrilling style with Greg Pygott’s drop goal five minutes from time clinching a deserved victory in the sunshine on Saturday afternoon.

The early exchanges were pretty even before Widnes struck the first blow on seven minutes, Second Row Sean Gilmore going through a gap to score by the posts leaving an easy conversion for Tom Smith and a six point lead for the visitors.

Almost immediately Sheffield were level. Widnes losing the ball two tackles after the restart on their own 20 and Pygott pounced on the error to dive over. Pygott converting his own try to level at 6-6. Widnes were next to strike after forcing a scrum in the Eagles half. Centre Adam Bowman crashing over after thirteen minutes and the conversion made it 12-6 to the Vikings.

On the back of some excellent defence Sheffield deservedly scored the next try through Mark Renshaw-Smith, again capitalising on an error by Widnes to score out wide. This time Pygott missed the goal but Widnes lead was down to two.

Sheffield took the lead before half time after forcing the visitors to drop out on 27 minutes and Winger Bolu Fagborun went over for a try sucessfully converted by Pygott to give the hosts a 16-12 lead. Despite some poor discipline by the Eagles just before half time the Vikings couldn’t breach the home defence and 16-12 was the half time score.

Sheffield then turned the screw in the second half with Kyle Kesik scoring in the corner after a Vikings fumble in the in goal area on 48 minutes. Pygott missed and the lead was now eight points. Eight then became twelve on 59minutes with Renshaw-Smith’s second try again out wide and again Pygott missed from the touchline.

With sixteen minutes to go Widnes came to life and scored two tries in five minutes to level the scores. Luke Bradburn with the first on the back of two penalties by Sheffield for interference and the second by substitute Chris Lunt after the Vikings forced a drop out. Tom Smith converted both and suddenly the game was level on 70 minutes.

After a penalty for an incorrect play-the-ball Sheffield stormed downfield and Pygott calmly slammed over the one pointer from thirty meters with five minutes to go to put Sheffield back in the lead. The defence then held firm to secure a thrilling win and exact revenge in dramatic style.

Featherstone Rovers (A) 7th May- R1

Sheffield Eagles Reserves turned in a good showing on the back of their heavy defeat at Widnes on Thursday night at Post Office Road. Despite the result Sheffield played some excellent attacking football and offer plenty of encouragement for the rest of the season. Going down the hill in the first half, Sheffield conceded an early penalty from the kick off but but managed to weather the early storm.

Eagles took the lead on nine minutes when Second Row James Morrow barged over, Gavin Brown hit the post with the conversion. Gareth Williamson and Matthew Bacon then scored to put Rovers 10-4 ahead after 23 minutes but Steve Pryce scored the Eagles second try of the game on 27, Brown, who had an excellent game, again missed with the kick. The Eagles then took the lead into half time, Eddie Battye with his second try in a week, this time Pygott missed the goal for a 12-10 half time advantage.

The start of the second half was a disaster for the Eagles with Featherstone re-gatering from their kick off and then Tom Carr scoring a try two tackles later. Undaunted Sheffield fought back with Humphreys first of the evening before Matt Handforth put Rovers back in the lead on 50 minutes.

The game swung back Sheffields way with Humphreys second on 55 before Sean Hesketh put Rovers ahead again on 62. Featherstone got the crucial next score on 72 through Mark Falkingham. Despite tiring going up the slope Sheffield looked to save the game Jamie Cottle's try on 76 miutes and with the goal made the score 34-30 to Fev.

Rovers however out the game to bed in the last minute with Wing Tom Carr's second try and Dobek missed the goal for a final score of 38-30 to Featherstone.

Widnes Vikings (A) 2nd May- R1

Sheffield Eagles Reserves suffered a heavy defeat away to a strong Widnes Vikings team featuring Sheffield old boy Danny Mills in the Reserve Team First Division.

Despite the scoreline the Eagles battled hard and with the ball in hand showed encouraging signs in the first half with a good completion rate and some good defensive work.

Widnes were 18-0 up when Eddie Battye surged over to get the Eagles on the board, Pygott kicking the conversion. However by the end of the half the Eagles were 42-6 behind.

In the second half stamina showed and more tackles were being missed and penalties conceded but undaunted forced two further tries from good attacking plays by full-back Jamie Cottle and wing Steven Pryce. Pygott adding one goal.

In the end the gulf between the teams showed and Widnes completed an 90-16 victory with very impressive centre Ryan McPaul notching five touchdowns.
