Yorkshire league players in the 4NCL
Posted: Sat Feb 15, 2014 1:20 pm
Mostly to help in case anyone is planning to try hunting down extra players/teams for Div3N next season, but also because the patchwork intrigues me
The chessnuts site has considerable data on the Yorkshire league, with the top division in full detail being here - http://www.chessnuts.org.uk/ny5/league. ... ionid=1232 - click on each team to see who has played so far this year, score etc. Useful for anyone hunting for players.
Going by team you have,
York A - 5 to White Rose, 1 to e2e4, 4/5 to Jorvik and one to DCA.
Sheffield A - 2 to Blackthorne, 3 to Spirit of Atticus, 1 to DCA, 1 to White Rose,
Bradford A (also B) - 2 to White Rose, 1 to 3C's, ~3 to DCA,
York B (and C/D) - 1 to WR, 3 to Jorvik, 2 to DCA,
Rose Forgrove A (and B) - 1 to Jorvik, 2 to DCA.
Calderdale A - 3 to Manchester, 1 to DCA.
Huddersfield - 1 to 3Cs, Bradford Central - 0,
Sheffield D - 5 ish to DCA.
Hull - 1 to DCA, 1 to NE2,
Harrogate/Alwoodley - 1 registered to WR,
Leeds CCC - ~4 to Leeds Uni old boys (basically the same group), 2 to WR 2.
DCA is more Bradford themed that this makes it look - they've got a handful of strong Bradford based players who've never played much in the Yorkshire league. The Calderdale players in the Manchester team are a minor Lancastrian border incursion Sheffield D isn't Sheffield's fourth team - its their juniors. Bradford/Sheffield have the working junior systems in Yorkshire right now so a logical tie up there.
Anyhow, plenty of targets for anyone out hunting. The odd one I'm slightly surprised isn't playing actually.
Of course a lot of these people are probably happy with their existing ~8-11 weekends a year. The Forgrove players say are astonishingly commited and basically all play every match for them every year. Jorvik are player cycling, partially to let everyone play but also I suspect it isn't obvious if everyone would want to play all the weekends.
