After regionalisation in the York Senior League news comes of rationalisation in the Central Yorkshire League. With effect from 2014 the league will have separate first and second XI competitions. There will be twelve clubs in the Premier Division, eight in what will be known as the Championship and eight more in the third tier aka Division One. The list of clubs competing in each division is available on the league's excellent website. The new arrangements for separate first and second XI competitions was last in place in 2001. Two up, two down will operate between each division and the bottom two in Div 1 will be forced to apply for re-election.
The website also brings notice that Scholes CC whose membership of the league dates back to 1944, will quit when they reach three score years and ten and transfer to the Bradford League in 2015. Scholes joined from the Heavy Woollen League and only four clubs, Batley, Birstall, Liversedge and Ossett , can claim longer service.
Not exactly hot from the press but the Bradford League has announced that Yeadon will be promoted to Division I next season to fill the place occasioned by the dismissal of Manningham Mills. Mills were voted out at an EGM in September by 17 votes to 7. Idle and Great Horton were re-elected but the latter might feel a little concerned that 8 clubs would have preferred not to visit Ewart Street next season.
Finally a date for your diary: Friday December 13th will be the next Jim the Cat luncheon at Pudsey St Lawrence. 12 noon for 1:00 pm. Further details when I have them.
