That should be Underbank and East Lancashire Lions then (but of course they're all 'postponed'), although not Gateshead Storm as only one of the matches so far they should have had to play.

If they actually followed the rules those look very sensible rules, but whoever enforces the rules this year needs sacking, I'd rather have the strict NCL rulebook on this topic than the total arbitrariness we have now

It's the same person administering both competitions.

I agree with you Bowes about Gateshead, feel really sorry for them. They have been badly shafted

One competition has well followed rules and one makes them up willy nilly. I can't imagine the NCL turning a blind eye to a team scratching two weeks in the first 3 of the season because they haven't quite got their best team
