Strongly worded statement on X from Lymm about the decision to allocate clubs to N2 W/N/E https://x.com/LymmRugbyClub/status/1931683399292354867" rel="nofollow - https://x.com/LymmRugbyClub/status/1931683399292354867

Wherever you draw the lines, there will be seasons where the numbers do not work. The advantage of three divisions is it gets rid of the long journeys that N2S had, like Redruth to North Walsham. Made even more painful as the RFU no longer funds travel. Though Lymm's travel will be less than Redruth's. The alternative is to have strict lines and vary the number of teams relegated or promoted to keep numbers square. I am not sure that there would be sufficient support to return to that. But, if there is to be another look at league structure, these are the points that need to be discussed. ------------- Sweeney Delenda Est |

They don’t suggest an alternative though.

I always forget Camborne. I do not recall Cambridge ever playing them. We did visit Mount's Bay, Redruth and Launceston in one season. ------------- Sweeney Delenda Est |

| It’ll be difficult to forget Camborne next season; they’ve just announced that Sam Matavesi is coming home from France to join his brother Josh for 2025/26🥟 |

Exactly. What would be their alternative suggestion? ------------- Moderator http://www.leaguerugby.co.uk" rel="nofollow - National League Rugby Message Boards Remember Wakefield RFC |
