Does anyone know anything about these clubs that have mysteriously appeared on the Yorkshire Men's League website? They're based in Skipton and Sheffield respectively.

Wharncliffe Dragons is a good name (read near the bottom of http://en.wikipedia....arncliffe_Crags) but even though I'm reasonably local I have not got a clue who they are.

Perhaps another spin off club from somebody dissatisfied with their current club. Who knows.

Aire Valley Vikings seem to have played friendlies this year but know no more than that.

There seems to have e been a slow expansion of amateur RL to the North of Keighley in the last few years. First was the reformation of a side in Silsden. Then there was Cowling Harlequins and West Craven in Barnoldswick. Now the Aire Valley Vikings in Skipton. Skipton has been historically low level RU territory, so , if this is true, and, if it suceeds, that s great news.

The nearest senior team are the Cougars, so maybe we are expanding the game into areas I have previously speculated, could be part of the fan base area for the Cougars. The grassroots grow in the stoniest of ground, it seems. i wish them well.

I used to live in Barnoldswick, there are quite a few RL fans there and a number do support Cougars.
