bowes Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 Some teams I didn't realise played rl.Hope the competition is on reasonably solid foundations.Most of the sides here are solid but Birmingham. NEW Ravens and Leicester A struggle at times to get a team out. South Birmingham are somewhat of an unknown. The top four sides in the south midlands are the top four across the midlands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew R Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Not sure of the full details of how the structure will work. This has solved the travelling issue but will the gap in standards be a bigger issue? "Perfection is not attainable. But if we chase perfection, we can catch excellence." "The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowes Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 There's no cross-conference games and teams in the north midlands divisions play two extra fixtures to make the numbers up to twelve. Not 100% on playoffs but think it was cross division semi finals and then a final Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidlandsRugbyLeague Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Play offs for top two in each and then 3rd and 4th in each. If there's appetite then 5th and 6th in each can also have a play off comp to further extend the season.

John Rhino Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 We are really pleased with the set up this year. In previous years, admittedly a while ago now, we've travelled to Newcastle, Durham, Bristol, North Manchester and the lower Thames Valley so it's nice to see that in 2016 the furthest is Boston.

redditchbulldog Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Most of the sides here are solid but Birmingham. NEW Ravens and Leicester A struggle at times to get a team out. South Birmingham are somewhat of an unknown. The top four sides in the south midlands are the top four across the midlands Think you will find the facts are that NEW ravens have only blobbed on 1 fixture in last 3 seasons its been other teams that blobbed on us last season hence 3 had 24 nil games and for 1 of those we hastly arranged on the friday night to travel to Sherwood to play as they had been let down as well for a merit fixture...Please get your facts right before saying we struggled to get a team out, if you meant 4 or 5 seasons ago would agree with you that we struggled to get a team out Stoopid Cup Winner 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM2010 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I hope leagues such as Midlands and North East can expand to several divisions like the the Pennine League, NW league and Yorkshire. I'm not sure how realistic that is though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowes Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 I hope leagues such as Midlands and North East can expand to several divisions like the the Pennine League, NW league and Yorkshire. I'm not sure how realistic that is though They've both had two divisions in the past but it didn't really work as the clubs at the bottom end of the premier division kept collapsing under the hammerings. I think getting 10 team leagues with 18 games has to be top priority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
