I hope this is only a draft because some of these are a joke. We have been put in division 4 even though we have won 2 leagues in a row. Brook 'a' are in the league above even though we've beat them every time we've played them over the last 2 years. Other teams like Newton and Chorley been put ridiculously high as well.

You're from Wild Boars if I remember rightly? Which division did you ask for?

I don't get Newton or Chorley's high placings either. Newton have been through turmoil in the last few years (I think they even folded for a time last year?) and their results have reflected that. Chorley are still a young side and are strengthening every year but Div 2 is too high for them.

Newton have not folded at any point from memory.

It's provisional - let them know your issues and hopefully they will resolve. On first glance there are a few club's that appear to be a division or two out either way. To be fair it's a big job gauging standards across a full Winter season, short interim and last summer's season.

BTW few clubs in the entry division who I would have expected to be in "proper" divisions - OSJ, Bolton Mets and Adlington. Is that right?

Westhoughton too.

That said, I've been told Adlington have folded so this could be a way of getting back up and running.

Certainly some sides are in the wrong place there...although Sept - Nov was meant to be a grading season etc. the fact that so many clubs are coming across to summer means that they've got to be sensible, perhaps looking back to the 2010/11 NWC season to get an idea of what level a lot of sides are at and then factor in the summer sides. Wild Boars are a lot better than some sides placed above them for example and given their NWC record, they shouldn't be so low down.

Chorley Panthers might be expected to pick up players from Adlington? But even so seems a big leap.

Think Hindpool deserve to be up with HFH, Spring View and Haresfinch. None of these teams have beaten us yet this season and although our league position at the moment is pretty lowly we have 3/4 games in hand on some teams. Ince Rose Bridge should also be higher, IMO
Think we would be pretty happy with that league though provided the other teams were prepared to travel.

Your also assuming that Walney have actually applied to the NWML

Re: 2012 north west mens league : Mon Jan 30, 2012 2:10 pm  

Walney did decide on summer though as I say don't know if it's on time.

As I say just a rough go, I tried to work out who else to drop to bump you up as there's only 12 teams I could have put in. Ince Rose Bridge did poorly in last winter season and interim.

Re: 2012 north west mens league : Mon Jan 30, 2012 2:15 pm  

I know they decided but what you and I read did not indicate a particular league, they could have applied to CARLA.

Ah yeah didn't think of that possibility.

Re: 2012 north west mens league : Mon Jan 30, 2012 2:26 pm  

Cant see it to be honest but it could be a possibility if the application is deemed to late for the NWML and they have played their u18s up the coast in the past rather than the NWC.
