Division 4
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 .

Think reason that Saddleworth were relegated and Hindpool and Langworthy werent is because Saddleworth forfeited 3/4 games.

Good luck in division 2 West Bank that looks like a great league. From what people are saying round these parts Dalton dont appear to be as strong as last season. As for Askam I cant see them picking up many wins at all, think they could be a league or 2 above themselves. They are a really young side but very keen. Think they were hoping to get some players back from their NCL days but so far they have only got 1 or 2 back.

Hindley will be up there. Not the biggest, most physical or most aggressive side, but more importantly they're very well drilled and slick on the ball; they'll hit it at pace and have pace to finish in the backs and several forwards. Their defence is also well drilled and doesn't make many bad decisions. Only lost 1 game and the most they conceded in a game all year was 20 points. They're a young side but will be better for another year together.

Rochdale can be up and down - their first choice team will be hard to beat, a big side and hard to stop, but they seem to have some players who vanish for periods of the season (apparently the Fijians disappear for weeks on end!).
