It doesn't look like Willaston will be joining us, they hadn't nominated as of Wednesday last week.
Didnt they like the idea of rejoining in Div2 LM, probably hoping to come back in in a lower div!!!
Could be the case, I thought div.3 would've been fairer, although div.2 is probably equivalent to div.3 5 or 6 years ago. It used to be the norm to come back through div.3.
I'm led to believe that they weren't aware of what grade they were going to start in, I think a few blokes thought they'd start cricket back up out there and it lost it's wheels, my understanding is that they haven't responded since their initial enquiries.
I have bad memories of a semi-final against Willaston from 95-96, the most gut-wrenching game I have ever played in.
