Yorkie44 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Provisional line up. The league seemed to have listened to the clubs in the lower divisions placing stand alone clubs in division 2 and 'A' teams in 3. Looks a good spread, my only wish would be that the teams now stay stable and we can have proper promotion and relegation between the divisions. Premier: Bentley, Beverley, Doncaster Toll Bar, Hull Wyke, Illingworth, Mirfield Stags, Sharlston Rovers, Siddal, West Hull, York Acorn. Division 1: Batley Boys, Birstall Victoria, Cutsyke Raiders, Heworth, Kings Cross Park, Norland Sharks, Ossett Trinity, Scarborough Pirates, Skirlaugh Bulls, Wibsey Warriors. Division 2: Farnley Falcons, Garforth Tigers, Hillsborough Hawks, Keighley Albion, Knottingley Worms, Leeds Akkies, Moldgreen, York Lokos. Division 3: Dudley Hill, East Leeds, Elland, Hunslet Warriors, Milford Marlins, Normanton Knights, Oulton Raiders, Shaw Cross Sharks. Division 4: Allerton Bywater, Dearne Valley Bulldogs, Featherstone Lions, Hunslet Club Parkside, Lock Lane, Scarborough Pirates A, Siddal B, Stanningley. Division 5: Bramley Buffaloes, Drighlington, Greetland, Mirfield Stags Academy, Nevison Leap, Thornhill Trojans, Wetherby Bulldogs. Entry League: Batley Boys A, Bentley A, Beverley A, Dearne Valley Bulldogs A, Emley Moor, Hewoth A, Keighley Albion A, Stanley Rangers, Victoria Rangers, West Bowling, York Acorn B.

bowes Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I certainly think promotion and relegation between premier and division 1 could work, although if teams step up to the NCL or if someone like Upton or West Bowling switched from winter it could leave things out of synch. It gets more complicated lower down due to the different season lengths and the separation of first and reserve teams at division 2/3 level but some loose promotion and relegation could work. As for the divisional line ups they look well balanced and more stable than last year but there's a couple of anomalies. Allerton Bywater look too low a division and Moldgreen look too high but they may have lost/gained players since last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatboystu Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Thornhill A don't have a programme, don't know if it's different for teams in the premier division. It won't cost you anything to watch us either, nor the first team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the only division I can't find on Facebook I honestly don't know, the leagues have been rehashed that many times, must be a tough job for the fixtures secretary. We only just got our forty twenty cup fixtures last week, and that starts on 5th March, luckily they aren't too far to travel so we won't, be organising a coach, except for maybe one game but that's the last one.

Yorkie44 Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 True, our only request was that we were not entered in a league full of second teams, due to unrealibilty of some A teams, which to be fair we have this year and last so it is pretty good. I do hope all the teams actually travel over to Scarborough too, they have had problems in the past if teams calling off the reverse fixture.

But also it follows naturally on from last season with effectively promotion and relegation. I suspect the league will be broken apart a bit next year when lots of clubs your standard start to switch from the Pennine league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
