Given our league was left alone with no 2XV teams added in, Who does everyone have as early favorites for promotion and relegation? Did anyone manage to watch any of the teams who have come down or up into the league? With preseason already starting for some teams has your clubs confirmed and pre-season fixtures yet?
Lets try and make this forum active heading into the season.
I did not watch any of the sides remaining in the league from last season but did see plenty of North East 2 and Yorkshire 2.
Old Crocs are not a bad side and won 8 of their league games, 6 wins came at home and I cannot remember them loosing heavily at home. Their home has always given them an advantage at home and I expect that to be the case next season. So unless they have lost lots of players they will do well.
Otley and Brid are both good sides, of the two I expect Brid will strength their side and will be in the top four. Much will depend on how many if any players Otley loose.
Basing this on last season and what I know of certain teams my predictions in no particular order is
Top 4 - Goole, Old Cross, OO's, Yarnbury
Middle 4 - Brid, Keighley, Old Rish, West Leeds
Bottom 4 - D phoenix, Hullensians, H pythons, Wensleydale
I'm probably going to be way off.
