IT was quite exciting to receive, over the weekend, draft fixtures for the 2021 National Conference League season.
In line with a request by the NCL’s management I’ve not published them (clubs have until this Friday to submit observations and requests, so there could well be significant changes) but I’ve given details of the seven Regional Leagues.
I reckon the Conference bosses have done a very good job in all the circumstances, even if not all clubs will be entirely pleased. Some may feel they should be in a different regional league, and others may worry about having to face opposition that, twelve months ago at any rate, was significantly superior.
