Regional 2 North East / Re: Final weekend predictions

Scarborough way too good for Salem. Took a short while to get control but once the did it was one way traffic. Not sure how strong a side Salem sent but we were expecting a closer game.
Crowned a fantastic season. Great to see the boys get the recognition and accolades they deserved. Good on Salem for staying out for the presentation.
Seen this ref a few times and thought he had a real off day.

A while since posting but Trees back at it with a decent win at Mods today. Squad depth has really come into its own of late with a cup win and the chance to seal it next week. That said nothing is a given in this league and plenty of hard work left to do.

Good way to sign off today. Close game at halftime and then Scarborough pulled away in the 2nd half.

As you'd expect it was a huge crowd and super atmosphere especially during the trophy presentation.

Bradford played their part and were very fair and congratulated the Scarborough boys.

Well reffed.

Quote from: backrowbandit on Apr 11, 2026, 07:24 AMIt will be difficult for clubs to determine whether to enter and at what level to enter without knowing who else is entering. It will take a couple of years to settle down in think.

I'm just concerned that the integrity of the leagues could be compromised with a potential high number of walkovers due to the geographic area.

Also, I've been a massive advocate of 14 team leagues at level 7 upwards. However it could be ironic that they are introduced at level 7 and below just as 2nd teams are introduced. I'm not sure 2nd teams will want that number of league fixtures...but I may be wrong. I would think that 12 team leagues would be better for the lower divisions.

Strange how level 3 & 4 will be 14, level 7 and below will be 14.

Only for level 5 & 6 to be 12.  Surely the reversal of play offs to a standard two up and two down with 14 across the board would be the way to go.
