Yorkshire show they are a shambles again

[Dark Arts Advocate]

Beggars belief, incompetent, self centered are just a few printable potential terms I would use to show the Yorkshire RFU lack of respect for its constituent clubs.
Which are always subservient to the blazers eagerness to get their snouts in the proverbial trough, come what may.
Our esteemed leaders have managed to arrange the final of their premier competition, their Yorkshire Cup etc, on a day that they are also asking club players to entertain them in a County game at Hull.
So we have 3 players from York who have been selected to play at County level on the same day of the Yorkshire Cup final!!!!
So the boys who will be quite rightly, proud as punch to be selected to represent their County have to make themselves unavailable for the club in their first ever Yorkshire Cup final.
A piss up in a brewery springs to mind bearing in mind those who have control over these decisions have had ignored at least 6 free weekends since the final participants were known.
So where will the senior members of the Yorkshire RFU be on this devalued day?

Think it demonstrates that the cup is an after thought, but also that they doubted players below level 4 to be selected for the county squad.

Firstly impressive to have 5 players from the league in the squad.

Who is the third from York? Could only see Scholey and Shackleton on the squad?

I've been aware of this for a while now. I wouldn't say it's a case of snouts in the trough, more a case of little to no communication by a particular committee.

Have they announced where the cup competitions are being held yet?

[Flaggy]

John Charles Stadium Hunslet. 4 Finals in a day 11,1,3 and 5pm kick offs.

How recently were you provided that information?

I'd be equally concerned that a Yorkshire match is being played at a non-rugby club like Hull - isn't it a field and a bank account?? (Unless it's at Hull Ionians - which is an actual club).

Agreed and the fact that this fixture is almost 2 months after the final league games also beggar belief!

Was announced a few weeks ago I think.

11am: Maltby v Nestle Rowntree
1pm: Old Otliensians v Wheatley Hills
3pm: North Ribblesdale v Yarnbury
5pm: York v Cleckheaton

You are correct Badger. I got confirmation on 17th March after asking the question. We will have a slim squad as several players play a high standard of cricket (Northern Premier league) and are committed to that. Never mind we will do our best.

I knew about that announcement, i was more interested in if there had since been another. Seems not.

[Flaggy]

Not that I am aware of. Why would there be.

[MAYDAY]

Two games both at Hull Ionians, U20s at 1, County Mens at 3
I would make sense that seeing as Hunslet RL have no home game that weekend, the Finals are played on Sunday

[Flaggy]

Mr Mayday,
           definitely not on a Sunday but Saturday 24th May.

[MAYDAY]

Two County games both at Hull Ionians, U20s at 1pm, County Mens at 3pm on Saturday
I would make sense that seeing as Hunslet RL have no home game that weekend, the Cup Finals could then be played on Sunday
