Sco77 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Can anyone tell me why they only run this at bi-year age groups? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaxiEgg Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Barla used to run 12 ,14 ,16 and 18s but dropped the 12s several years ago . The reason they run at the even years is because the county cups run at the odd years . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilber Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Looking at BARLA's website the games are played next week although a couple were played this weekend. One observation is the amount of teams that have entered at Under 18's and if that isn't an indication to the damage the pro game does to our youth game then nothing is 8 teams one Yorkshire and the rest Lancashire, nothing from Hull, sad times 29-01-2017 11:30 Leigh East - Ince Rose Bridge Wigan St Pats - West Bank Bears Dewsbury Celtic - Blackbrook Waterhead - Orrall St James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaxiEgg Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Or Cumbria . How long before the community game stands up for itself and says enough is enough ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 4 of Us Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Taxi, I agree it's extremely sad to see the reduction in teams in these comps. I think St Pats 18's were turned down by 2 clubs and straight through to the semis which can't be right on any measure. I don't necessarily see it as an indictment of the numbers of teams out there, although it's clear they vary from region to region, rather than BARLA itself. The reduction in teams entering in the youth comps are matched in the senior game and probably speaks volumes about a general lack of expectation/trust in BARLA as well as issues with the timing of the competition in comparison to the league seasons. There's nothing to stop the games being moved to a March start and perhaps May/June final. It appears however that arrrangenents remain broadly what they are, and are more suited to East of Pennine clubs who don't bother to enter! i agree the community game needs a loud and coherent voice. Sadly that doesn't seem to be BARLA anymore. http://www.wiganstpats.org Producing Players Since 1910 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under 18`s First Round Leigh East v Ince Rose Bridge Waterhead v Orrall St James Dewsbury Celtic v Blackbrook Wigan St Pats v West Bank Bears BYES:- Crosfields, Halton Farnworth, Leigh Miners, Lock Lane, Oulton, Rylands, Skirlaugh, Stanningley, Thatto Heath, West Hull, Wibsey Warriors, Wigan St Judes.

Wilber Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Cheers for that, it didn't show the bye's on the website at the time. Still 20 is a poor indication of the decline of the Under 18's comp. First year I was involved with an under 18's team there were 52 teams entered, a few years ago mind you. I think the year we won at under 14's there was over 50 teams also. Good luck all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
