Cumbria1 Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 I have heard we could have another Cumbrian NCL team joining as Hensingham are just awaiting on votes now to join. It would be great if they do get to join. Anyone know whoelse is set to join
Hopping Mad Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 Good news about Hensingham, who have probably outgrown their county-based comp, though it will leave the Cumberland League very short of clubs.
JM2010 Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 How many Cumbrian teams will that make in the NCL now?
snoopdog Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 Is this the same Hensingham who have forfeited games this season??

shawy13 Posted November 5, 2018 Posted November 5, 2018 Walney have applied and I was told the other day that Distington have as well. May as well just let everyone in now
Mr Smeaton Posted November 5, 2018 Posted November 5, 2018 Trevor Hunt said in last weeks League Express that ten clubs were showing an interest in applying to join the NCL. On the downside, four or five clubs were considering quitting with one club facing financial problems. He did say they will be talking to these clubs to try and get a solution.
cookey Posted November 5, 2018 Posted November 5, 2018 Just out of interest,what arethe facilities like at these clubs.Generally speaking,most amateur clubs need to do what they can to improve facilities.Not sure what might be available in terms of grants,loans,Sports England,lottery RFL etc.To retain players,sponsors,spectators clubs need to offer what they can in terms of clubhouse,pitches,floodlights,parking etc.

As has been said Hensingham's season fell to pieces with a run of bad results followed by forfeiting games including a cup semi final I think and Walney were reluctant to travel as part of the cumbria mens league set up Forget Chuck and Chad I am the real legend killer
moorside roughyed Posted November 6, 2018 Posted November 6, 2018 Fantastic news more clubs coming to the NCL,the more the merrier. Shame about one club suffering financially as alluded to by a previous poster. Money does seem to be an issue throughout rugby league unfortunately.

They've got a decent clubhouse close to the pitch and changing rooms right next to it. On the downside, there's very little hardstanding, a small amount of cover and no floodlights. Which makes it better than some NCL set-ups! The (very wet) day I went, for a Challenge Cup tie last season, the pitch didn't look great.
Thegunns Posted November 6, 2018 Posted November 6, 2018 Heworth were looking at putting in an application.

Marauder Posted November 6, 2018 Posted November 6, 2018 Been told the clubs find out whether it's a yes or a no and the end of November. Carlsberg don't do Soldiers, but if they did, they would probably be Brits. http://www.pitchero....hornemarauders/

Keep The Faith Posted November 7, 2018 Posted November 7, 2018 Anyone know the 8? I know Batley boys have applied again http://tombatley.wordpress.com/ Give it a read..
Celtic Rooster Posted November 7, 2018 Posted November 7, 2018 Some of them don't want it published that they have applied until they know if they have been accepted or not. I have no idea why?

Black Junior Posted November 8, 2018 Posted November 8, 2018 Speaking to one of the junior coaches and he said 8 teams applied ( not sure how accurate this info is) Gloucester Nottingham Batley Boys East Hull Heworth Queensbury Walney Hensingham Although with them setting up a Southern League I’d expect Gloucester and Nottingham to apply there now instead.
