Regional Two (North & North East) / Re: Predictions 23/03/24
« on: March 23, 2024, 10:47:21 AM »
According to the RFU North Regional Organising Committee, only relegation is affected by the demise of Jersey Reds
https://www.rfunorth.com/news/
End of Season issues, 2023-24
Jersey Reds Reprieve
Their unfortunate demise means there will be a reprieve from relegation at each league level. This will be determined by the Best Playing Record (RFU definition in Regulation 1). The spreadsheet here provides the current situation and how this will be determined at the end of the season. The reprieve at Regional 2 will follow down the Counties Leagues of that reprieved club.
Counties One Promotion
This will be the top placed 1st XV from each Counties One League and a further SIX clubs who finish in 2nd place with the Best Playing Record. The spreadsheet here provides the current situation and how this will be determined at the end of the season.
Updated 03 Mar 24
The spreadsheet to which the first section refers is available at
https://rfulondon.com/forms/jersey.pdf

As well as Old Crossleyans being possibly granted a reprieve, Doncaster Phoenix from R1NE are also in a good position to avoid relegation into R2NE.

Yorkshire 2 / Re: Cup game 9th March
« on: March 07, 2024, 06:21:38 PM »
Ribbflagman - I would suggest you discuss that you were kept in the dark with your Hon Secretary.
I believe Hon Sec of YRFU sent out an email on February 2nd asking for nominations. The letter is printed below.
The second point about council members not doing as their CB ask/tell them what to do is explained by the RFU "job description" of a Council Member which in part states
"However, members of the Council have a primary duty to act in what they consider to be in
the best interests of the RFU and the game as a whole. This means that when they act as a
member of the Council, such as voting in Council meetings, they must only consider the
interests of the RFU and the game as a whole and not those of the clubs and/or CB they
represent."
Dear Hon Secretary
Ted Atkinson is standing down as RFU Council CB Representative.
The Yorkshire Committee has proposed the nomination of Joe Bedford and Toni Birch to be Yorkshire Rugby Football Union Limited Representatives on the RFU Council for 2024-2027. Joe Bedford’s nomination has been seconded by West Leeds RUFC and Toni Birch's nomination has been seconded by Wharfedale RUFC.
If a Club wishes to nominate a suitable candidate, they should notify the County Secretary at adminsecretary@yorkshirerfu.co.uk no later than 1st March 2024. Please be aware that candidates should also have another Voting Club to second the nomination by email by that date. See RFU Council Representative Role Description attached if required.
Whilst considering candidates please be aware that it is important that the RFU Council has a diverse range of talent available to it. We are, therefore, encouraging applications from under-represented groups to ensure representatives reflect the communities that we operate in.
Any queries should be directed to the County Secretary at adminsecretary@yorkshirerfu.co.uk
Regards
Dawn Rathmell

Regional Two (North & North East) / Scarborough appeal denied
« on: February 13, 2024, 09:55:32 AM »
Scarborough lost their appeal with the RFU to claim a losing bonus point from their match against Malton in December.
Full judgement is available on the RFU Discipline site.
Hopefully the link below will take you to it.
My summary :-
Malton made a substitution to bring on a goalkicker in order to take a penalty (Not allowed in the regulations).
Referee did not notice the substitution and allowed the penalty to be kicked despite the offence being brought to his attention.
Penalty was kicked in the 78th minute, eventually denying Scarborough a losing bonus point.
Scarborough appealed to the League Secretary "to remove the 3 match points" - He said he could take no action
Scarborough appealed his decision to NROC - they said it was "basically, a matter which the referee had managed"
Scarborough appealed this decision to the RFU which was turned down as the Appeal Panel did not consider that the outcome to take no further action was not one which a reasonable body would have taken.
From the judgement
"37. This was a game management decision which rests in the hands of the referee and was a decision which
had to be taken in the moment of the match, not by a regulatory body some weeks or months after the
event. An unfortunate error has occurred in this instance but that is the nature of rugby and other sports
and the particular error in this case is not one which is so exceptional that an organising committee or
regulatory body should step in to take action. While this Appeal Panel has great sympathy with
Scarborough's position, and concern by the action taken by Malton and Norton RUFC, it did not consider
that NROC came to a decision which no other body would have taken and, as such, this appeal is
dismissed. "
Seems to me Scarborough has been treated very harshly and Malton and Norton do not emerge with much credit.

Regional Two (North & North East) / Re: Christmas Round Up
« on: December 23, 2023, 11:50:32 AM »
Speccy,
As far as I know, their are no "natural" leagues at Level 6.
The top team in each of the 12 L6 leagues gets promoted to L5, the bottom 2 get relegated to L7.
All the remaining clubs, plus 12 relegated from L5 and 24 promoted from L7 are then allocated to the 12 leagues at L6 with a view to minimising the total distance travelled in each league.
I expect Glossop to be relegated to L7; Dronfield to remain in N2E and I'm not sure what will happen to Rochdale.

Yorkshire 1 / Re: Yorkshire Shield Quarter Finals
« on: November 23, 2023, 03:26:13 PM »West Leeds v Ripon is off. Don’t know who has blobbed on who though.
In Tuesday's match report of Ripon v Dinnington, the Ripon match reporter predicted a week's rest for Ripon.
"Becky Naylor 21 Nov - 10:15
Next week Ripon 1st XV, take a break from league and cup action to rest, recuperate and rebuild for the mouthwatering prospect of entertaining old friends Leeds Corinthians at Mallorie Park on 2nd December."

Email also included the following notes
1. The Premier Teams wanted to remain as a Table which would accommodate teams from the NE.
2. Blaydon have withdrawn and will return to the CANDY League.
3. Harrogate 2 has moved to the Championship.
4. The Championship is a league with Doncaster Phoenix 2, Sheffield Engineers 1 (requested a better standard of rugby) and Wetherby 2 joining it making 12 teams.
5. The remaining Leagues/ Tables are fairly straightforward.
