Following the news that Cornwall RLFC have withdrawn from the 2025 Betfred League One competition, the board have issued the following statement.
“It is with great sadness that once again our competition is now facing more uncertainty. In late 2023 a unified group of League One clubs presented to the Championship Clubs and the RFL a proposal to create ‘one league’ underneath Super League following the demise of Northampton, Oxford, Gloucester, Hemel, West Wales and London Skolars from League One.”
“Keighley Cougars welcome the whole game review being carried out by the Strategic Working Group and urge for a swift and brave decision on how the Rugby League pyramid will look going forward for the betterment of the sport.”
“To any of our fans who have booked travel and accommodation in Cornwall, we hope you enjoy your weekend away and we are sorry that you will not get to see our boys perform on the field.”
“Our best wishes go to the Cornwall players and staff at this difficult time.”
We await a further update from the RFL on how this will effect the current season and once we have an update we will communicate with our supporters.
Very sad, the RFL must surely look to having two divisions with relegation and promotion.
Another expansion club falls by the wayside,the RFL board remain blind and Def to the game as a whole,eggs in one basket ? Save Salford? Really !!
Invest in grass roots-NO- trip to USA to ‘grow the game’ YES…..Trump must be in charge!!
Tariffs for League 1 next?
It’s more about business than sport sadly. They will kill the game soon.
