Just to clear this up......I am not saying that West Bank are the only team any good, I am saying "Go Forward" ie, 2 good sides, a new purpose built ground and clubhouse, good recruitment etc.

I never meant to offend any of the other clubs out there but its clear that West Bank are too good for Div 2, but like I said, lets not get carried away because they still have to be promoted twice and then perform at the top level........or depending on what there committee decide they could apply for the National Conference as they have possibly the best setup in the NWC, they have numerous junior and youth teams that are are run very well, they have lots of volunteers to help out on matchdays whether its Saturday or Sunday and they have 2 good open age sides.

Hope this clears it up

sad day when a div two side give up a local derby, but this year has started to become a farce and with the leagues going to have to change(through teams moving to summer) I can see next year being as bad or even worse.

St Pats have conceded Saturday's match so our season has fizzled to an end. That's our last two home fixtures, our last two chances to get some much needed funds into the club, both conceded. 3 home games the opposition have conceded all affecting our revenue. Not right, not fair and not happy!

Still, promotion for the 5th consecutive season (depending on what happens) - well done Woolston!

Congratulations on promotion woolston. Maybe see you next season

FIRST TIME POSTING,I PLAY FOR BRIDGE 2ND TEAM AN THE REASON WE AV HAD TO GIV GAMES IS BECAUSE OUR FIRST TEAM AV LOST 5 PLAYERS 2 SEASON ENDING INJURIES,AN 5 PLAYERS PACKED IN,10 OF OUR SECOND TEAM LADS OUR NOW STARTING 4 1ST TEAM AN WE JUST DIDNT AV A BIG ENOUGH SQUAD TO COPE,1ST TEAM AV EVEN BEEN PROMOTED,HOPE 2 B BAK NEXT SEASON WITH A FEW OF OUR 18S MOVING UP BUT THINK WEVE BEEN RELEGATED COS WEVE GIVE TO MANY GAMES,EVE THO WE FINISHED 8TH AFTER GIVING 6 OF EM,

STOP SHOUTING!!

Wouldn't worry mate, it happens to a lot of teams. We've conceded a few this year despite squad of 30ish lads; mainly due to a change in work demands as loads of lads increasingly have to take Saturday work, but also injuries, lads drifting away, etc. Other teams with stable and/or larger squads find it frustrating and rightly get naffed off, but at the end of the day it's part of amateur sport.

Good luck next year.
