- Current Referee grade:
- Level 9
So on Twitter - looks like the majority of Level 7, 8 and 9 clubs in Lancashire and voted to go and form their own mini-league, in a split away from the RFU league structure. As far as I can tell - it's left the North Lancs Cumbria league down to just 1 league at Level 7, and South Lancs Cheshire operating at Level 7 and 8, with no leagues at Level 9.
I don't really understand why this has been done, or if there is an intention to fold this new league into the RFU league structure - anyone know what this might cause?
As far as I can see - this is the new league structure: https://twitter.com/lancashirerugby/status/991769243090931712
with the remaining Teams playing in something like this:

If our Merit Leagues weren't so strong - I'd have been tempted to invite selected second teams into both set-ups to try and encourage greater numbers in a manner similar to what the Eastern Counties have done?
Is anyone in the know here? I wonder how this will work with refereeing...
