Just to add to the point of walkover results. I think clubs who run teams with more than one team or who play in the lower divisions should escape hefty fines & point deductions from the Pennine league committees.
It's only social rugby, it's hardly semi pro stuff we're talking about, they should work towards supporting clubs rather than driving lads who want to play at weekends to footy or RU. They're too up their own backsides, and some of the fines quite frankly border on theft. They should consider this before admitting new teams into their system. I watched a lad play for Ovvy 2nds at Siddal against their 2nds who I know for a fact has already played for Irish 2nds & Boothtown already this season cos I've seen him with my own eyes. There are too many clubs, or should I say too many teams to accomodate the number of lads who want to play our game.

Agree on the fines etc Colin, would love to know where that money goes, every meeting the league dish out at least £500 worth of fines. Would the lad in question be Mick Samples?

Grow up.

I think however your comment should have read " wHats great about either of THOSE comments

Greetland game - Greetland was all over sharlston in first 10mins then sharlston got on a roll, then strong running from Greetland seemed to agitate Sharlston, a little scuffle started on the floor and then Sharlston 12 decided after all was calmed down he would punch Greetland's 17 with a rather cheap punch, things got heated from there, aggressive running and tackling from the Greetland side (however all legal in the game) and about 5 mins later Sharlston's 8 decided to pick a fight and all hell broke loose.

Ref abandoned game as the fight spilled into Greetland fans watching on the side as sharlston pushed the fight towards the sideline, Narrowly missing young children. The ref sensibly abandoned the match to then receive a hell of a lot of abuse from Sharlston.

I agree entirely with your comments re the Pennine League MM.

I wrote a long letter to their secretary after I saw a game at Queens second team last year recounting several unsavoury incidents that I witnessed on that occasion. I haven't even had the courtesy of a reply.

The Pennine League used to consist of teams from Halifax, Huddersfield, Rochdale and Oldham.

Now it's centre of gravity has moved towards Leeds/Wakefield. No local knowledge exists of these teams and the admin of the League is suspect to say the least. I think I'm right in saying that that when Queens etc moved over 15 months ago that it was the Management Committe who endorsed their membership rather than the clubs?

I think that we should write to BARLA and say that we will start a new league based on the old geographical areas. The problem is that a lot of the Lancashire teams like St Annes, Waterhead and Saddleworth have moved their reserve teams over to the North West Counties League where they get a fair crack of the whip.

And as for the Elland lads playing for Heath 3rds....I counted 5 on the pitch with as many watching who expressed an interest in playing as well.

MOM for me though was a certain Damian Ball........
