kev p Posted September 3, 2019 Posted September 3, 2019 Hopefully the Harry jepson trophy can involve all regional leagues ex “heartlands”, next season to help develop game. To make travelling easier, north east winner plays Scottish winners for semi place. East, wales, midlands, London, west & south west to sort other places.
London Drifter Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 Skolars won it in 2012 so they are technically a second team.
London Drifter Posted September 8, 2019 Posted September 8, 2019 So Wests A won and gained entrance to the challenge cup. Be interesting to see their team selection in January.
DoubleD Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Agree with Saint1 on this, I’m not sure the point of it anymore. I wonder if they could turn it into a Cup competition for all non Heartland clubs
kev p Posted September 27, 2019 Author Posted September 27, 2019 A cup competition for all non heartland clubs is pretty much where it first started, however if it returned as a national, non heartland comp, early rounds would have to be regional, getting north east clubs to play south west clubs would be unlikely to get played. Setting fixed dates for cup rounds would have to be done with league fixtures working around them. Southern Conference teams should be included also. With southern Conference & regional premier leagues, there would be roughly 40-50 teams. So 2 early season regional rounds would bring the comp to 16 teams for a national 3rd round.

That’s along the lines of what I was thinking. Would be good to see
