Can't imagine they'd have struggled in division 1 even so. Nevison Leap are definitely a club on the rise.

Bowes do you remember me and a few other say about teams that start at the bottom and once they move up and start losing disappear

Especially around that neck of the woods. Seems to happen alot around Cas and Ponte. Believe me, I should know!

Me as well, without trying I can name 4 teams that have revolved around the same spine of players in that area.

Fair point. Does seem odd there's so many short lived clubs and one team clubs. Possibly the same mentality why there was on the one hand so much opposition to summer from the NCL clubs with heel dragging over reserves but on the other hand so many random summer clubs popping up and the land remnants of the Yorkshire League are exclusively from there. Except to a limited degree in Widnes there's a completely different mentality west of the Pennines. Places like Leeds don't seem the same either. Probably why the Yorkshire League ditched P and R but NWCL and Pennine kept it.

In what way do you believe Leeds is different?

This still happens sometimes but you don't get the likes of Townville and Fryston popping up with really strong teams for a few seasons then folding in the same way.

Sorry meant one team clubs

Ah, thought you might have meant one club towns...

Clear now.

Yeah more like 10-15 club towns. Leigh only has 2 amateur clubs by comparison but they are 2 very good clubs.

Apparently Kinsley have been accepted to the Pennine League as well. Hollinwood are switching from the NWCL.

You have to remember that most clubs run from the local pub or WMC.

Say's in todays League Express that Brotherton, Kellingley, Nevison Leap and a reformed Knottingley Rockware will all be applying to join the Pennine League.

All the above clubs were accepted last week into the Pennine League.

I've never seen the pennine constitution, seen the application form which states any new club may be asked to attend a meeting with the pennine committee.
