Leigh East 50 Skolars/Hemel 0

The London team only had 12 players turn up

No game for us today because the pitch was frozen. Only played one game in seven weeks

same here very frustrating!!

Yep, and played the whole of the 2nd half with 10 (and for a 10 minute period 9 ) players...........again !

Was it due to injuries, or simply the lads not turning up?

I hear rumblings of discontent coming from Siddal.

Lack of interest and little team spirit.

Could be another team casualty before the season ends.

I hope not, losing teams like this can only be bad for the game in general.

Both but I believe there is enough determination within the set up for it to succeed. Numbers we can improve and their collective heart can't be questioned.

I think the concept of the NYL needs to change if it is to continue

At this level having clubs as widespread as Cumbria,Gatehead,Hemel and Bridgend as well as Hull is a very difficult situation


I can see a situation where more NL/Championship clubs use the NYL to develop thier juniors be that by running teams themselves [ Like Celtic,Skolars and Keighley or by association to local amatuer clubs [ possibly Fev using the Lions and Oldham using Waterhead/saddleworth

Then if more clubs can be found a regionalised comp either a North [ yorkshire with gateshead and Cumbria south [ Lancashire with Celtic/Hemel or an east west

Can`t believe it our game is off again

Why, haven't you got 200 to pick from.

The lads want to play but Mr. Frosty had other ideas




On a more serious note how are the league going to catch up with the backlog of games before the play offs
