  • Shipston-On-Stour
    RUGBY FOOTBALL UNION APPEAL HEARING At: Puckrup Hotel, Tewksbury On: 12 June 2019 JUDGMENT Club: Shipston on Stour Panel: Mr John Brennan (Chairman), Mr Nick Dark and Mr John Vale. Secretary: Rebecca Morgan Attendance: Mr Dan Scobie, Chairman of Shipston on Stour. Mr Roger Rees, Secretary Midland Division Organising Committee Regarding: Appeal against a level transfer at level 7 from the Midlands 3 West (South) league to the South West Southern Counties (North) league in the 2019-2020 season. 1. Shipston on Stour RFC (“the Club”) were the league champions of the Midlands 3 West (South) league in the 2018-2019 season. 2. The Club expected to play at level 7 in the Midlands 2 West (South) league in the 2019-2020 season. 3. In the event, the Club were subjected to a level transfer to the South West Southern Counties (North) league. The prospect fills the Club with dread. One can well understand why. Only one away fixture involves a round trip of less than an hour. Two involve a round trip of almost two hours. Eight involve a round trip of around three hours or more. The prospect is so grim that the Club considers the better course would be to withdraw from competitive league matches before the start of next season so as to avoid the disruption that would follow if it were to fail to honour all their fixtures; a prospect which the Club Chairman considered to be unavoidable. Their playing members, all of whom are amateur and many of whom work on Saturdays, would prefer to play for another club or not at all than spend so long on the road in the 2019-2020 season.
