RAMS CONFIDENT OF ANOTHER UPSET

North Lanarkshire Rams remain confident that they can pull of a memorable double whammy over their local rivals and reigning British Youth Champions, Clyde Valley Hawks tomorrow (Sunday 22), when the two sides clash in the penultimate round of this years BYAFA Youth Kitted Championship at Wishaw’s Beltane Playing Fields.

Having been overpowered by the Hawks in the first game of the season, the Rams finally ended Clyde Valley’s two and a half year dominance of the British League last month with a 14-12 victory at Cumbernauld.

The winners of tomorrows clash will guarantee a place in the BYAFA Youth Kitted Final at Dewsbury on September 5th.

And even though the Hawks, with home advantage will come into this game as firm favourites to reach their second successive national final, the Rams are optimistic that they can re write the form books once again.

Said Team Spokesman Alfie Betts: "The first game of the season wasn`t a true reflection of how the Rams are as a team, and bares no resemblance to the strong unit that the Rams have now become."

" The second game of the season saw a hard fought 14 –12 victory for the Rams. Now Sunday will break the tie."

"Like all team at this time of year the Rams have their share of walking wounded. But come Sunday they will spring into life giving their all to fight for the win and a place in the British Youth Kitted final on the 5th of September."

"This year it`s being played in Dewsbury at the Rams stadium, the stadium has the teams name on it, we only hope the trophy has too. "

"All the Rams hard work and success has been achieved not only by the players, but by the teams only two coaches, Darryn Traynor and (Andrew MacIntosh) Andy Mac."

"If there is any justice in football Darryn Traynor will surely be recognised as coach of the year".
