And the tie-in with our old friends from Carnegie ?

They are causing problems within the league structure though in that they are drawing in youngsters from other clubs because of their facilities, its not a crisis yet but most Leeds clubs are noting it, on the other hand a bit of competition never did any harm and too many kids in some year groups mean less game time for many.

That and the fact that everyone loves to put one over on them (and Sandal) now

I assume so

Speaking of crisis, Otley are in a mess - punched above their weight for years, screwed over by the RFU moving the goal posts mid season and generally suffering from the credit crunch.

I knew you'd spot that

How do you do that, every time I mention those jackets you spot my post

I may pop down for the new season, but of course we sponsor Stanningley now, I sent our kid out with a cheque for Bramley but he came back with a deal with Stanningley, a bit like Jack, a cow and a bean stalk.

when i posted this morning the game was on. Hunslet rang at 11am to say they couldn't raise a team.

I don't have access to the bramley website from work, its a blocked site. so i posted on here to let people know and having not been in long i will be updating the website shortly.
