4NCL 2025-26

[Roger de Coverly]

Are timetables known for the outstanding issues on the next season?

These would be the announcement of venues, the allocation of divisions to weekends on the split rounds and the allocation of teams to the third divisions.


Particularly the first weekends, there are a number of potential clashes with popular Congresses.

This note was posted about a month ago: "Note: Venue and accommodation booking details should follow in a week or so once contracts have been signed."

This was posted this week: https://www.4ncl.co.uk/data/2526/provis ... n_divs.htm which hints that the process is underway. Manx Liberty are the notable omission from the list.

I suspect that Division One will be the later of the two dates for weekend one as the October dates clash with the Euro Club Cup.

Placeholder dates have been on the 4NCL website and in the ECF calendar for around a month now. Finalising contracts has taken rather longer than we had hoped, but with a following wind dates, venues, entry guidelines and divisional allocations should be up on the website by the end of this weekend.

As so often, our ability to avoid potential clashes has been constrained by the venues available to us on the terms we need.
