i'd be surprised if there is a Div 6!

There wil inevitably be some re-organisation with the migration to summer with the NCL teams taking their 2nd sides with them. I'm not quite sure how this will work over the winter because although the NCL has a shortened regional league for the winter nothing seems to have been arranged for their NWC sides. Certainly Bank Quay have changed their minds now and are staying with the winter set-up due to the lack of meaningful opposition. I think the NWC have said they won't accept sides who are migrating, but I might be wrong. I'd have expected a re-alignment of teams at the bottom end anyway with the stronger div 6 sides leapfrogging some of the weaker sides in the division above them. Four divisions is probable with a possibility of 5 especially with the likes of Hindley, Spring View, Salford Central and yourselves all looking to enter sides as well.

It might be an idea for any clubs looking to go/ stay summer to run a winter ML style division between us in order to keep hold of players? I'm pretty sure the rfl would back it.

we have repeatedly raised the need for a mini-comp with the RFL and I have discussed it with quite a few clubs since February. It's got to happen..

We (Hindley) have entered a "A" team for upcoming season....should be some good teams like you said....really cant wait.....there is some good players out there who deserve to play every week.
