anybody know division 4 structure?

Cronus was dependant on my texts from the meeting...Bury v Newton is on day 1. I've passed the scheet on for another official to scan in so havent bothered with the others. Bury go to Eccleston in week 2 and the stand out fixture for us in a Bury - Bolton derby on Grand Final day!!! Good day that is going to be!

14 teams in Div 6 by the way...including a new Chester team, while Ellesmere Port have not joined but will be elooking for friendlies over the season.

assuming its all of last years with three up from 5 - Watehead, Hindley, Rochdale Cobras and a Irlam, Spring View (and another?) up to 4 (Unsure whats happened to Blackpool though as they were below Widnes Tigers who have gone into 5.)

Division 4

SADDLEWORTH RANGERS (relegated 3rd from bottom of division 3)
WEST BANK SWANS (relegated 4th from bottom of division 2)
BAMBER BRIDGE
LEYLAND WARRIORS
LEIGH CENTRAL LIONS
CADISHEAD RHINOS
ROCHDALE MAYFIELD
ECCLES
BLACKPOOL STANLEY (saved from relegation)
HINDLEY (promoted 1st from division 5)
ROCHDALE COBRAS (promoted 2nd from division 5)
WATERHEAD (promoted 3rd from division 5)

all very strange especially when the two teams at the bottom of division 3 Langworthy Reds and Hindpool weren't relegated, Irlam,Pilk's and Higgenshaw were promoted as expected and Widnes Tigers were relegated to division 5 .

Division 6 line-up is as follows (I think)...

Accrington
Ashton Bears A
Blackbrook A
Blackpool Scorpions A
Chester
Fitton Hill
Folly Lane A
Halton Simms
Haydock A
Irlam Hornets A
Leigh East A
Little Hulton
Rochdale Cobras A
Widnes West Bank A

4th Sept.

Westhoughton v Wild Boar
Bury v Newton
Crosfields v Eccleston
Cuthberts v Widnes T
Wigan Bulldogs v Chorley
Rylands v Bolton

Blimey, that is going to be a strong division.

Is the new Chester side in Div 6 anything to do with Chester Gladiators who play in the Summer Conference & NW Merit League?

Division 4 looks tasty, glad we went up. Local derbies for us with Waterhead, Saddleworth and the big fixtures against Rochdale Mayfield should be a ball!!!!!

Hindley too, thought they may go up a few divisions but hey it makes our season more fun…always close games between Rochdale Cobras and Hindley.

Don’t know much about other sides….used to play Bamber Bridge in my Milnrow days about 7 or 8 years ago...good games!!! and Cobras played Leigh Central in a cup game in our 1st season, we got spanked

Looks like it going to be fun for our 2nd team too, looking forward to it as im playing for the 2nds this year!!!!

SpringView are in 3.....and we were in 3 last year.

That is a blinder of a league....no easy games for anyone!

...Shame about TWO Cumbria trips. One would have done.
