Are Kinsley Hotel a new club or just a name change for Raiders?

if so, then 13 yorkshire league clubs have switched to Pennine

[bowes]

Anyone got the full list of 19?

[St Domingos]

well beside the Yorkshire clubs the new applicants are

Worth - Siddal - Garforth - Hollinwood - Knottingley - Troydale and a halifax club that is provisional at the moment

[mmp]

It's only the same problem the RLC have had over the years and they seem to have got over it.

I meant for Hollinwood as a relatively new club that has been knocking around lower divisions. Given the choice of risking being in a division where they'd struggle on the pitch or, taking another option where they've a better chance of being competitive then for a new club the Pennine League would seem to me to be a better option as they're more likely to be placed at an appropriate level. Their players may want to play winter and that's good but I'm not sure they'd want to suddenly throw themselves up against a Golbourne or Dalton.

Jim the 19 doesn't include A teams of existing members. Though glad to see you're entering one.

Just had confirmation this is correct.

Your remarkable run of wrong guesses continues....

The 4 NCL A teams won't be moving to the Pennine any day soon.
There's at least 6 other teams staying, enough for 1 division.

Bet you feel stupid now.

Moving the `A` teams into the Hull league wouldn't be a big problem if they didn't want the pennine.

Depends if they're up for the travelling I guess. The most logical thing is either to move reserves to summer with their first team or to enter both teams in the Pennine League depending on what they want as a club.

I've always found Hull an easy City to get around and the M62/A63 is a fast and easy stretch of tarmac.
