4 more games a year will put a bit more of a strain on dual clubs and fixtures committees mind you...
They definitely needed some form of rebalance as how division 3 was run off last year at the beginning provided a lot of very lop sided games. This looks like it could do that I suspect which is good.
Division 1 may have some one sided games but unfortunately the top couple could probably play two teams who would beat other teams even in a 10 team league anyway so no-one's fault.
Is it set in stone that there will be four more matches, i thought there may be the option of two less games with 11 first round games followed by a Top/Bottom half split and another 5 games. even if not the 'bigger clubs' who don't seem to want these extra fixtures or Easier games have a chance to blood their younger players and give their extended squad a run out if the gulf is so big. pick the two teams you dont deem worthy and play your second 15 against them, simple
U may see something like u r talking about come to fruition gizzy, one full round of 11 games, then split in two & another 5 games, so in effect 2 less games than last year, 16 game league with more competitive games for the top teams nearer championship & no gimmes at the end of the year for teams at the bottom either which has happened year in year out.
makes sense in my opinion.
be interesting to see who chairs ccc next year, i hear there is a meeting next week to get old and new together and move forward from there.
