League Setup/Structure

A lot of people have asked if we are returning to a three division setup for the new season. The answer to this is "no", although it is the aim of the association to return to a three division setup.

With the five additional team entries for the 2008/2009 season, I had considered returning the league to a three division setup. However, having carefully considered the options, and having discussed with a number of people (committee and non-committee), I have decided that the two division setup will remain for the 2008/2009 season.

Reasons for this are that the general feeling I got from people was that they enjoyed playing more matches last season, and the chance to play at different venues than they have before. The longer season will also give the association more time to get all the individual competitions played. With Frames (formerly Shades) back in the league, there is likely to be an increase in the number of entries from last year, and as a result, a likelihood of requiring an extra round of matches.

To re-structure the league back into three divisions based on the teams we have at the moment, and ensuring that the teams promoted from the A Division last season receive their promotion into the Premier Division, would have required relegating AT LEAST FOUR teams from last season’s Premier division. A situation I did not wish to consider.

The season would have to have been shorted by 6 matches for teams in the A and B divisions, and by 4 matches for teams in the Premier Division. Fitting in all the individual competitions would have been difficult in such a short season without disrupting the league program, which would already be disrupted by the high number of byes every week.

The Association will continue to try and recruit more teams for the 2009/2010 season, hopefully with the help of association member clubs. The aim is to get 36 teams which can be split into three divisions of 12 teams. At a push, 11 teams each with one bye would be considered.
