The London team only had 12 players turn up

Yep, and played the whole of the 2nd half with 10 (and for a 10 minute period 9 ) players...........again !

Was it due to injuries, or simply the lads not turning up?

I hear rumblings of discontent coming from Siddal.

Lack of interest and little team spirit.

Could be another team casualty before the season ends.

I hope not, losing teams like this can only be bad for the game in general.

Both but I believe there is enough determination within the set up for it to succeed. Numbers we can improve and their collective heart can't be questioned.

I think the concept of the NYL needs to change if it is to continue

At this level having clubs as widespread as Cumbria,Gatehead,Hemel and Bridgend as well as Hull is a very difficult situation


I can see a situation where more NL/Championship clubs use the NYL to develop thier juniors be that by running teams themselves [ Like Celtic,Skolars and Keighley ] or by association to local amatuer clubs [ possibly Fev using the Lions and Oldham using Waterhead/saddleworth ]

Then if more clubs can be found a regionalised comp either a North [ yorkshire with gateshead and Cumbria ] south [ Lancashire with Celtic/Hemel ] or an east west

The lads want to play but Mr. Frosty had other ideas
On a more serious note how are the league going to catch up with the backlog of games before the play offs
