Is the new Chester side in Div 6 anything to do with Chester Gladiators who play in the Summer Conference & NW Merit League?

Division 4 looks tasty, glad we went up. Local derbies for us with Waterhead, Saddleworth and the big fixtures against Rochdale Mayfield should be a ball!!!!!

Hindley too, thought they may go up a few divisions but hey it makes our season more fun…always close games between Rochdale Cobras and Hindley.

Don’t know much about other sides….used to play Bamber Bridge in my Milnrow days about 7 or 8 years ago...good games!!! and Cobras played Leigh Central in a cup game in our 1st season, we got spanked

Looks like it going to be fun for our 2nd team too, looking forward to it as im playing for the 2nds this year!!!!

assuming its all of last years with three up from 5 - Watehead, Hindley, Rochdale Cobras and a Irlam, Spring View (and another?) up to 4 (Unsure whats happened to Blackpool though as they were below Widnes Tigers who have gone into 5.)

SpringView are in 3.....and we were in 3 last year.

A seperate entity but a lot of the lads from Gladiators will be playing for them and the guys behind it are also involved at Gladiators. The new club was set up to stop lads switching to RU or football.

Gladiators will remain a summer focused club.

Some strong looking leagues for next year, though there are some weird promotions/relegations/reprieves...

Langworthy and Blackpool Stanley won 1 game between them last year yet both have been saved whilst teams who got alot more points have been relegated, Widnes St Maries finished 3rd in Div 2 last year yet are in Div 3 this year? Whats that about?? Will be interesting to see how many Div 6 games get canned for one reason or another next year, what with it being mainly the 'A' league

presume you've picked up some of the Ellesmere Port lads? Were there many at Wirral who wanted to play winter RL I wonder?

i would assume that team like maires have dropped as they have requested to do so. This would go for other clubs who have also dropped, which in turn will have save teams like Langworthy from going down.

there does seem an awful lot of it this year, more than normal but its certainly created a great set of divisions.
