Aye, it's a good idea. Easy to set up, small teams make it easy for clubs to enter, and the weather doesn't need to be great. I've played a korfball beach tournament in St Andrews for years in May, and it's usually pretty good weather and a great ######-up later. If a club runs it themselves, can make a good bit of cash from entry fees.

I was asking because I remember East Leeds and West Hull winning them last year. Not a huge entry, mind.

Is there an NCL cup comp this year?

Devolved into Jamaica and others.

Aye, we struggled and struggled. I'm surprised we were so close before the final round, I suppose they struggled too. Cheers

The Huddersfield archive is brilliant. Still awaiting many others to appear though. Someone did have a Castleford history online a while ago, but it was an unofficial site and disappeared at some point.

Aye, cheers Got lucky, and the rugby chat must have either been edited, or off camera. Quarter final next!

She is lovely.

The captain of one of the teams on tonight's may happen to frequent these forums quite often. I seem to remember there being a rugby union clue, after which said captain professed (in a perfectly neutral sense) to being much more versed in a more entertaining version of the sport. EDIT: I realise that pulling a quote from a year ago out of context isn't entirely useful - it was referring to Only Connect.

As I thought, other sporting duties diverted me yesterday. I'll try to get to this soon.

Aye, although probably not until the weekend. Pester me if I've not posted owt by Monday.

Nowt on the NWC league. Sorry!

I've recently got hold of a copy of the 74/75 RL stats book - I'll see what details it has on this.

The Scottish Korfball League has implemented a similar version of this system for the 2013/14 season, and we're about to do the split. It seems to be working well so far (nothing to do with my club dominating things of course!) in that we've avoided the blow-outs that occurred last season, and that the teams on the cusp of the split (from both sides) have been fighting hard to get over the line. I might get a few whinges when I present my league secretary's report at the end of the season, but so far, so good.

Two main memories - watching the occasional shows when my dad was reffing and taking the ###### out of his thinning hair, and seeing St John Ellis diving over the line for Cas with his tackle (like, everything) flopping out of his shorts. From memory, he had nothing to be ashamed of.
