bowes Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Looks like a more balanced league structure this season and they've managed to accomodate the sides dropping out of NCL, the sides left stranded by winter and just the sides that proved themselves out of the merit league. Incidentally it appears that Ulverston must now be in the Cumbria league, leaving Hindpool as an anomaly (albeit less so than Dalton) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawy13 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Ulverston have indeed joined the Cumbria league they made the decision back in October I think. Division 1 looks to be a great division, Hindpool can't wait to get going again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spidey Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Bit disappointing that some teams have been rewarded "promotion" without finishing in top spots in 2014, one team I can see has jumped from Division 2 to Premier, just cant see the logic in that TBH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowes Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I'm guessing given the teams involved a lot of Bank Quay players have moved to Rylands? The irony being Culcheth Eagles finished one place above Rylands and have dropped 2 divisions to division 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowes Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Incidentally the changes since first draft: Bank Quay Bulls down from premier to division 2 Rylands Sharks up from division 2 to premier Salford City Roosters A pulled out of division 1 Leyland Warriors up from division 3 to division 1 (a triple promotion as they won division 4) Burtonwood Bridge down from division 2 to division 3 (effectively turning down promotion) Westhoughton Lions down from division 3 to division 4 Chester Gladiators up from division 4 to division 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The irony being Culcheth Eagles finished one place above Rylands and have dropped 2 divisions to division 4 Not sure of the details with BQB/Rylands but I do know Culcheth had several Golbourne Players in the team, and with them joining the Summer Competition now, felt it appropriate to drop down to rebuild.

bowes Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Wonder if Rylands have NCL ambitions as they meet the criteria? Though Bank Quay do have the feeling of a club towards the end of their life span much like Halton Simms Cross They applied for 2013 but got knocked back because they hadn't fulfilled their summer fixtures before reverting to winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidey Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Last time I spoke to the Rylands guys about NCL, they said they have that ambition, however at the time were very nervous about the travel costs, if they overcome that hurdle they'll do well Agree about BQB, they have started to set up a Junior Section over the past couple of years, but i think its a bit too late to help out the current OA side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowes Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I'm not sure what happened with Portico Vine but guess St Helens already has a lot of strong clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilber Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 There will be a couple more amendments Spidey I think an error has been highlighted in this thread!! More to follow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defender1 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Have the NCL relaxed its criteria as it appears there are a number with no A teams, another worrying trend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowes Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Have the NCL relaxed its criteria as it appears there are a number with no A teams, another worrying trendMost of them will play entry league though a few clubs I'm not convinced had any A team last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidey Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Have the NCL relaxed its criteria as it appears there are a number with no A teams, another worrying trend I think this has been the rule for a number of years, the requirement is to have a reserve structure in place, but teams name their U18s as such Personally don't know how the teams keep going without an A team in place with regular fixtures, if lads don't get to play that's where I see people drifting away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowes Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 The trend the last few season seems to be of A teams struggling but smaller clubs picking up more players and strengthening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidey Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 The trend the last few season seems to be of A teams struggling but smaller clubs picking up more players and strengthening. Certainly is. With a young club like Bury for example now able to put out two teams each week it's a surprise that some NCL teams can't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowes Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Yeah a look at the divisional lineups takes some getting used to really in a good way. Heysham Atoms in the premier division. Hindpool Tigers, Bamber Bridge, Chorley Panthers and Leyland Warriors in division 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmp Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 Certainly is. With a young club like Bury for example now able to put out two teams each week it's a surprise that some NCL teams can't 1/2 chance Bury will run a B team in merit league too...(i say, thinking of boots sat in shed struggling with concept of not being able to play any more!)

bowes Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Just seen the latest division 4. East Manchester Rangers are now Manchester Rangers. Mancunians are gone. Chester are back in and Crosfields A are no longer in it but I assume that means they're division 3? West Bank A are now in division 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Bank A are now in division 4 Yeah that's correct Crosfields A are in Div 3 instead of Chester. West Bank A have replaced Mancinians (who I assume are in entry division) I'm led to believe that the Entry division is looking quite decent this year. West Bank were looking to play in the divisions but beforea Mancunians dropped out they were full Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowes Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Mancunians were struggling the back end of last season so that makes sense. West Bank A are always a bit flaky but hopefully they'll be better in a more appropriate division Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowes Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Looking at that table am I right in thinking division 1 is running on 11 clubs now? Anyone know the entry league line up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
