An interesting in-sight into Cumbrian ARL

Taken from this weekends local Times & Star Newspaper.
More to follow on a closer look at individual teams in later editions.
An interesting point made about the possible change to summer Amateur Rugby League.

Brilliant article. Personally, I think it confirms that Cumbria RL is strong with or without a SL presence and that the amateur game particularly local derbies attract far more interest than the pro clubs.

I agree with the summer switch for Juniors up to 18. Personally, I would consider moving adult RL back to winter pro and amateur.
