bbfaz 459 Report post Posted February 6, 2015 Well it's a league, which is better than a kick in the groin. From reading Weald's tweets, their main concern was not travellng to Hampshire. So, the newbies? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Exiled Townie 285 Report post Posted April 14, 2015 Weald Warriors are claiming they're in the London Championship. Is this a new name for the Entry League or just what they're calling it? On the London RL website there is no mention of Weald Warriors or Hemel Hempstead 'A' teams in any of the leagues shown. Is there an Entry/Merit League? I see there is a 'league' on that site called 'London Friendlies', maybe that's it? Jam Eater 1.(noun. jam eeter) A Resident of Whitehaven or Workington. Offensive. It is now a term of abuse that both towns of West Cumbria use for each other especially at Workington/Whitehaven rugby league derby matches.

bbfaz 459 Report post Posted April 26, 2015 Invicta and Croydon made their debuts (redebut if you consider the games played by Storm B as Hurricanes part of canon) yesterday. Invicta were two points up at the half before falling to the Bears A 66-26. Sussex defeated Croydon 36-20 in the SE Cup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Number 16 1,238 Report post Posted April 26, 2015 Excellent first showing by a Hurricanes team containing fourteen teenagers all making their Open Age debut. We've had only four training sessions so our organisation was lacking and it was probably the game's deciding factor. The huge plus is that the young 'uns were pumped after the game and can't wait for the next one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bbfaz 459 Report post Posted April 26, 2015 I know this is a seniors thread but I didn't want to exhume a juniors thread which wasn't especially relevant. Any idea what's going on with the Bromley Bengals? I know the London Junior League decided that Greenwich Admirals had to die but this is now getting ridiculous. They moved to Charlton and changed their name and now they're down to one team, 10 miles away from where they were getting decent numbers. This is by design right? The London junior committee hate them so much they honestly don't care if they've destroyed the top development pipeline in London? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It says something that Gloucestershire and Oxford can manage a reserve team better than Hemel and Skolars Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bbfaz 459 Report post Posted April 28, 2015 LONDON SKOLARS ‘A’ TEAM TO RETURN TO ACTION It would seem that Skolars have been undergoing a complete overhaul of their development structures and they didn't make the start line. Dave Roberts, who probably had too much on his plate, is now under-19s coach and Andy Champ is the new A grade coach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bowes 698 Report post Posted April 28, 2015 Ah okay are the reserves staying in London premier in the new structure? Seems bizarre to run U19s with no league to play in then struggle to run reserves who have a league Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bbfaz 459 Report post Posted April 28, 2015 I'm not party to the thought processes at Skolars. Needless to say, I would do things differently. So the Greenwich-Charlton-Bromley Admi-Gun-Gals? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jasper 124 Report post Posted May 2, 2015 After forfeiting the first two games of the season, I see that todays Skolars 'A' home game against The Bears has been 'postponed', according to the London League website. Is this just a glitch, or are Skolars 'A' in a bit of trouble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bowes 698 Report post Posted May 2, 2015 Personally if they've called off three games in a row I think they should be asked to stand down to the entry league Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
London Drifter 40 Report post Posted May 2, 2015 From what I hear it was a mutual decision from both clubs to postpone. Skolars had a team and could have played. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
