Well we've suffered enough of it in the past few years! Maybe abit of karma!

My only motivation behind championing us to go up would be to get away from Cumbrian Div 3!

Ha fair point! Although if Askam and Dalton are in thats 2 trips!

Fair enough but if teams drop out of Division 2 then thats shocking

I know what you're saying, however i think we'll be glad to drop down a division to 3 for this season, new young team, we have quite a few 18's coming up, with a new coach so i think it'll stand us in good stead.

I promise Div 2, it's been a nightmare, you automatically know as Div 2 is full of a lot of A teams, if the 1st team has a free weekend the 2nd team gets flooded with 1st teamers and it's wrong.

I know you are supposedly only supposed to have 4 1st teamers but all teams play well over that, i promise at 1 point or another this year teams that play in Div 2 will see this.

Few changes in Divisions 3 and 4 then, as New Springs have now folded Also heard that Pilks A and Leyland are struggling?

Pilks 'A' going strong and hopefully going to division 3. Were have you heard that we r struggling?
I am gutted to hear that new springs have folded. We have had some classics against you lot and its the game i look forward to the most.

I was just going off stuff that was apparently said at one of our meetings. Obviously wrong, apologies to you both, I only heard it second hand and shouldn't have put it on here really.

And I agree mate, not sure what will come of this 'merger' as I haven't heard anything apart from on here. But even then I think it will be too late to get back the players that are training at other teams.

We had some classic games against you men, first one I played in was the draw at our place a couple of years ago and I've played in them all since. Good memories of the first couple of games but I had shockers in both games last season. Good luck to you men next year.

That's not you is it? He's gone to Pat's, wanted to give National a go and I can't blame him really, class player.

It's been on the cards for a while mate. We had bad numbers at training for most of last season and we weren't performing like we should have - a few lads just didn't train at all because they knew we didn't have the numbers to not pick them when they turned up on a Saturday. Says a lot about the quality we had that we still got promoted pretty easily, and could have even won the league on the last game of the season. We lost a few of the lads who trained regularly to Pat's before pre-season started - that left us with 8 or 9 players who were bothered enough to keep it going, just not enough. The club wanted us to keep going but it never had a chance. Gutted about it - I've only played for the last two years and we were successful, feels like a waste of time now.

I remember playing Newton at your place in one of my first games the season before last, seems like years ago now! We won pretty easily but we treated it as a big game, I didn't know of you but there was plenty of respect for you men from our lot. I know Bostock played at 6 that game and signed for Saints not long after. Are you men still going this year?

Good numbers at training, but its the same group of lads who like to train but when it comes to matchdays they bottle out. Pain in the a*se big time. Quite a few young kids too.

Still no sign, I really do think we should know the make up of the divisions at least by now, especially when coaches want to arrange friendlies to get their team ready for the particular teams they may play against.

Re: New NWC Leagues? : Mon Aug 09, 2010 5:12 pm  

Im told it's been announced at the league meeting tonight. If anyone hears anything let us know!

Re: New NWC Leagues? : Mon Aug 09, 2010 7:58 pm
