Go on then flaggy, it appears RFUNorth have confirmed you requested to play in R2 North. Seems you got your wish.
Be careful what you wish for.

Most of them are/were clear cut but in R2NE we were potentially  at 13 teams meaning a level transfer would be required. From what i've been told that issue has been resolved by Nth Rib asking to play in R2N

I thought the rumour of them asking was just idle gossip?

Just so everyone is aware. I did send a message to the North ROC Chair saying that if at the end of the season there was a need for a level transfer we would not be against going into North 2. It was certainly not a request but merely offering to go north instead of north East as the travel is very similar and our direct trainline into Cumbria from Settle would help to reduce our travel costs as we have an arrangement with Northern rail for group travel. Wherever we end up will be a new challenge for North Ribb. Rest assured we will be doing our best to carry forward our form be it in Yorkshire or Durham/Cumbria. Wishing you all a restful close season and for those of you still in the Pizza cup make the most of it.
 You never know it might not happen again next year. Lets wait and see.
Sincere good luck to all clubs still involved.
Keep the White Rose Flag Flying.
FORMERLY Ribbflagman.

Confirmed by North Ribb on socials now that they've gone into the North league. I'll be interested to see how they fare next season, not knowing anything about the standard of league they are entering. All I'll say is they look well placed as a squad to move up to level 5.

Wouldn't be too sure of North Ribb doing back to back promotions, especially if Percy Park keep all of their players as they were very unlucky to be relegated from level 5 this season imo

To be honest I know very little of the leagues above. North Ribb have a lot of players who looked to be playing well below their ceiling at level 7 and have a very strong 2nd team backing up injuries. Be a big ask for any team to go back to back to back promotions but I'd certainly see them challenging towards the top.

Any news as radio silence from county, sounds like a monumental cock up as per usual

Flaggy

Hearing on the grapevine that one particular club will be very disappointed at being transferred to the West from NE2. Believe it will be confirmed by Monday latest. Watch this space.
FORMERLY Ribbflagman.

I'm sure we are all looking forward to the official statement from North Ribb Chairman and Head Coach - need to keep members  and stakeholders informed.

Apparently not Stella. Total communication shambles. The RFU seem hell bent on destroying the sustainability of some clubs with total disregard for travel expense etc. Heard yesterday that Sheffield Tigers have been placed in South West, with some local games at Redruth, Camborne etc etc. Who is in charge of logistics. Is it Stevie Wonder Or Ray Charles. Think they would do a better job. Total disgrace by our custodians.
FORMERLY Ribbflagman.
