  • "Some interesting debate here peeps .
    In my view all that was required was a little promotion and relegation introducing to and from the senior league ,surely we can all agree on that .This being according to pre agreed standards being met . This way every club finds the correct level , rather than forced possibly into something they may not want . Obviously clubs 1sts and 2nds not to play each other .
    Each new club application should be viewed on it's individual merit ,but initially joining the second tier with a certain chance of promotion .
    All this seems to be leaning more towards those looking to join ,than the existing long serving clubs .
    Why on earth someone who has a history of playing Lancs league cricket as above would suggest scraping pro's is beyond me . I hardly need to list the many fine pro's to grace the Lancs league ,who i am sure did wonders for bar takings and general interest in the clubs .
    Some change was required but this is a crackpot plan and am struggling to see how it got passed .
    Good luck to all for the new season .
    CHEERS"

Ribblesdale League votes for expansion

The Ribblesdale League will have a new look for 2013 after clubs last night voted to expand their competition.

With two new clubs voted in and the possibility of more to follow, the league's expansion will lead to a two-tier top flight in 2014.

A special general meeting took place and the ambitious plans to expand were carried.

Euxton were accepted into the league two months ago and the league committee has also accepted the application of Brooksbottom CC from Summerseat.

There may still be other clubs added but the plan at this stage is for each of the 20 clubs to play each other once in 2013 before the league is split into two divisions for 2014.

There will be more on this story in Monday's Lancashire Telegraph
