North West Counties Divisions have been released and again, we've new local additions

There is Eccles in the National Conf. of course, but in NWC there are now:

Div 1 - Folly Lane
Div 3 - Langworthy
Div 3 - Irlam
Div 4 - Eccles (A team to national Conf team)
Div 4 - Cadishead
Div 5 - Bury (not in Salford but in Manchester and District RL)
Div 6 - Folly A
Div 6 - Little Hulton Reds ***NEW for 2010/11***
Div 6 - Irlam A ***NEW for 2010/11***

I think I heard right when it was said that Langworthy were close to having an A team and may play friendlies throughout the year.

After yeras where the number of clubs, the numbers of teams, and the numbers of players have seemed in terminal decline, this is really positive news. And with new summer teams in the development areas that Salford Reds cover it shows that development activity in the arae is starting to have an effect - of course, the hard work of the clubs themselves is essential.

With the tide seeming to turn it'd be good to see a bumper crowd at next weeks Valentine Cup Final - Folly v Irlam on Wednesday night at the Willows.

Cracking stuff good to see Irlam now getting a second team and also good to see Little Hulton joining. Can't wait for the season to start, but first things first retaining the Valentine cup

the new signings will encourage new fans , who may also take up this great sport

we will be as good as the seventies team in the next few years

I've checked NWC website and there is nothing on there, is Bolton still in your league mmp?

Been looking for a local team near Macclesfield to watch.
Any one any ideas what the nearest team would be?????

Cheers

Advance notice for the derby which will be on Grand Final Day, October 2nd. Watch Bury v Bolton play and visit our club house (new base this year!!!) within a five minute walk from a tram to get to Old Trafford - will be a brilliant day of rugby league! (and you can buy tickets through the Bury Broncos club ) NWC will take weeks to get the right info up but i've manually added div 5 teams to our pitchhero account (while waiting for pitchhero to get the full league details up). See - www.pitchero.com/clubs/burybroncos/ . The Div 2 to Div 6 structures are up on the amatuer forum on RLFANs.

Not much is the quick answer!!! That part of Cheshire is still a gap despite the emergence of summer teams.

Nearest side is the summer regional league side Crewe and Nantwich Streamers I think. In Cheshire, Chester have a strong summer set up, and have joined NWC in Div 6 this winter but of course, going east-west in Cheshire is probably more bother than heading back up to Salford or across to Warrington!!!

our new pitch is the exact same width as the willows...and not by accident!

Good job you play better then Salford then
