Yorkshire Rugby

I see Withernsea have joined Knottingley and Dearne Valley in pulling out the league. Some might say it's only small Yorkshire 3 and 4 clubs but it's still a worry that 3 teams have pulled out this season alone. Hopefully they'll be back in the merit leagues next season and hopefully back in the Yorkshire leagues in the not so distant future 

Very sad....

I suppose the hope is that 2nd teams make up the slack. Although will 4 or 5 clubs end up playing each other at multiple levels in the leagues?

We need to maintain the magic in diversity of many clubs, large and small from all backgrounds.

Will someone from Yorkshire reach out and ask what the problem is?

I'm sure a few of us would happily offer a visit to give input if that would help.

This is exactly my point about bigger clubs entering the league pyramid and the smaller clubs withering on the vine. These  (3) unfortunate clubs will be only the beginning once our county hierarchy have done their worst and implemented something that we as members cannot verify as it was officially a "Secret Vote"
 Total Bollocks.
Happy to contribute in any way I can to help any struggling clubs along with you BRB.

Nobody wants to see rugby clubs struggling, and even less losing them from the pyramid. But not sure how these 3 clubs can be used for the anti 2nd XV agenda?

Could Withernsea for example of potentially of benefit from some fixtures against more local lower XVs in Yorkshire 4? Hullensians 2s, Beverley 2s, Goole 2s? Might have had some benefit. BP Chemicals then liking the look of Yorkshire 4 and the Pyramid could also add value.
