As you know I’m with you all the way on this one, its especially disappointing when none of the 4 clubs can enter cup competitions, due to insufficient numbers, and yet if we all joined up not only would we be able to enter they’d have a damn good chance of winning it.

It tells us the way to go when the strongest girls teams (most players) are those that are town based and not individual clubs.

Hopefully we’ll join up before to many girls drop out of the game, because they can't play in the important competitions.

Good luck with this, I hope folk see sense and get together. It seems apparent that not one team can muster up a full side (I believe they can at LRU ?) so why not pull together? They could share resourses and play at each club alternatively whilst still being an active member of their "own" club. It would just be like a Leigh Town Team with represerntatives from 4 clubs.

By the way, I know there are Easts and Miners but who are the other 2?

Golborne and Westhoughton.

The plan was/is to have a full open partnership with shared resources.

Sorry there's actually 5 Atherton Dragons, but they don't currently have a girls team.

The plan is for girls to continue to play for their clubs in the boys teams upto 12 and then join Leigh Girls U12 - open age.

Thanks Fred

I’ll come back to you on that one, I’ll have a chat with all concerned perhaps we could do a short DVD promotion for the community department to show in schools.
