[determination is the key]

Is it true that Bramley will be withdrwing from Conference Three in the next couple of days. Having postponed their first two games ( both at home ) due to lack of players they are not likely to make the trip down to Coventry. What a fall from grace for this club

[bowes]

Officially their game Sunday was called off because of a waterlogged pitch. But that doesn't necessarily mean they had a team so you may be right. A shame if true though not that surprising after their starts to last season and this season.

If true my heart goes out to their admin and supporters

[stupid]

as i am involved with bramley i can confirm that reports of our demise are wide of the mark again ! We had more players yesterday than we have had in a while but we were beaten by the weather (again) We have struggled to find dry ground to train on for the past few weeks and this weekend all games on council owned pitches in Leeds,Bradford,kirklees and Wakefield were postponed.Rhinos 20's played on the Stanningley pitch kicking off at 11.00 and the referee and touch judges told us that pitch would not stand another game, standing water on the pitch and torrential rain still falling so we could do no more.Dont worry we will be at Coventry at the weekend. And bowes do me a favour if you have no idea about what is going on keep it buttonedn thanks

It will be interesting to see Bramleys team.

Where have they got their players from or are they going to play banned players(as last year) or illegal duel registered players.
Take a hard look at their registration Bowes.

Excuse me I didn't say you'd demised. The only hard fact I said is that the weather has led to the
game being called off.

If you legitimately have a problem it should be with the opening poster though I suspect he's just repeating what he's heard elsewhere. Your lashing out is telling though.

Give it a rest man for God's sake; every chance you have to stick the boot in on Bramley you do. You are making a fool of yourself

Good luck to Bramley, hope they are able to travel to Coventry this weekend, I am sure they will.

[beefy1]

They're filling up with dual reg players apparently. I didn't realise that this rule had been passed.

Unfortunately it has been passed just some BARLA leagues don't recognise it.

Just means clubs like Bramley will forevermore make the first 2 weeks of every season a laughing stock.

why do you say 2 weeks Bowes? The game on Sunday was postponed by a Grade 1 referee due to the state of the pitch; hardly Bramley's fault that is it?

Another who enjoys sticking the boot in

Last year is 2 weeks. But the point is it's unacceptable to enter a league knowing you can only fulfil fixtures after the winter season is over. Yorkshire Men's League short season would gladly accept a club of that calibre but tier 3 doesn't need clubs that routinely call off the start of the season and are reliant on other clubs' players. It's hardly a one off.

[tim2]

Tier 3 should start at the beginning of March. That should sort it.

It will be interesting to see who these duel registered players are; or in fact are they actually duel registered or are Bramley just playing them.

If and when this league becomes part of, and under the control of the NCL, this action will not be tolerated and they may find themselves kicked out.

I think youi will find that its Bramley that are making fools out of the league.

[bowes]

The NCL have said they won't accept Bramley without them having reserves and juniors. Not sure what the ruling would be on their renting another club's ground. But clearly being unable to play til May (or potentially last week of April) would be a problem in a league starting in March. The juniors and reserves rule would rule out Warrington Wizards and South Wales Hornets unless they either start those teams or link up with a local club.

Wizards have entered an 'A' team in the NW entry division

Ah okay. They'd need some kind of junior setup as well though not sure how many teams they'd need these days as they scrapped the 6 team rule.

Where can we find the criteria for the NCL.

I Beleive that last season Bramley used alot of Rugby Union players from a local club I think that their season is now finished
so that could be where the players are coming from.
