Wiltshire Rhino Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Just now, bowes said: Do Dorset County Giants' games count towards the league? As far as I'm aware, yes. The League is made up of Cornish Rebels, Saltash, Dorset, Teignmouth and Tarka. Exeter will only play friendlies. 2014 Challenged Cup Winner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuffer Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 nah, always saw golborne as a Wigan team when we were kids, so will they be playing winter instead or can they not field any sort of open age team at the moment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoubleD Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Looks like Reading Raiders have raised enough money on crowdfunding to compete in the West of England division this year. It was in doubt after a sponsor pulled out and they thought they might have to fall back on the London Merit League Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hull Dockers have had the rug pulled from under them over the years , Pelican sports ground is one example . Makes me want to weep when I cycle passed the old Reckitts sports facility . Rugby pitches/football/hockey/crown green bowls/grass tennis courts , netball , club/changing rooms now next to nothing . No joined up thinking from anyone never mind Hull and District . I think its a good idea if you can get different sports using a facility , opens up grants/charities etc . In the main pie in the sky . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
