| Summary:l |
Last Season's top seven teams from the Lancashire and
Yorkshire competitions resigned from the leagues to form a new Northern
Rugby League competition. So that meant Broughton, Leigh, Oldham, Runcorn,
Salford, Swinton and Warrington were no longer in the Lancashire League.
They were replaced by Birkenhead, Lancaster, Morecambe, Altrincham,
Radcliffe and bizarrely Hull Kingston Rovers, even though they couldn't be
further from Lancashire within the Rugby League heartlands.
This season also saw the introduction of the South West
Lancashire League competition, extending the South West Lancashire Cup that
had taken place the previous year.
Wigan, Warrington, St Helens, Widnes, Leigh and Runcorn all took part but if
the sides met in the league itself, those results would count towards the
South West Lancashire League as well. Wigan began the new
season with a good win over St Helens. |
