Hawks Join The New Northern League. |
|
We are pleased to confirm our inclusion in the new Northern League for the forthcoming season. We will be joining Solway, Fife, Whitley, Newcastle (Northern Stars), Sheffield & Bradford. Each team will play each other twice home and twice away although the games against Whitley, Northern Stars & Sheffield in the ED1 league will also be counted as Northern League results (double headers). The trips to Fife and Solway will try to be accommodated on a 'Scottish Weekend' basis by playing Fife away on the Saturday, then staying over and travelling to play Solway on an early Sunday evening slot.
We will also be entering the Northern League Tournament to be held on Sat/Sun 28th/29th August, so if you fancy a weekend away and to see the new Hawks team in action, then make plans now, I'm sure there will be a fair few of us!
The combination of the games in the two leagues will give us a 40 game season and plenty to look forward to!!

ENL Division 1 Format Season 2010/11 |
At the EIHA AGM on Saturday the details for the new season were confirmed. The teams who will be in Division 1 are: Blackburn, Nottingham, Sheffield, Trafford, Newcastle, Whitley, Telford & Coventry. Each team will play each other twice at home and twice away. Only the bottom club will be relegated and replaced by the top team in Div 2 (no play offs at the bottom). The top 4 teams at the end of the season will go into the Play Offs and play 1v 4 and 2 v 3 home and away. There will then be a Northern final home and away with the winner then playing the Southern champions in a two legged national final.
As only 2 teams wanted a cup competition (Blackburn & Flintshire), we have decided to look further at joining the 'new' Northern League, a meeting for which will take place later this month. It appears there are at least 6 teams wanting to play in the Northern League and the intention to only play once home and away is encouraging. The teams mentioned as interested were Bradford, Newcastle, Whitley, Sheffield, Solway & Fife.
More details to be released when things are confirmed. |
