Cents Second Team Unbeaten In League 04.06.08
St Albans Development (or second) team are 3 from 3 in this years London Merit League and are sitting in joint top position. The Merit League is made up of 'second teams' from established rugby league clubs, or brand new teams just starting out. The emphasis is to provide a platform for new players just learning the game, something to fill the gap for young players making the step up from juniors to senior level, and provide 'easier' games for players in their twilight years of plaing rugby. The games are mutually arranged between the clubs, so they can choose to play as many or as few as they wish, either locally, or further afield. Because clubs play a different number of games, and different numbers of 'home and aways' a points system has been worked out to average their points after taking into account things like games played, distance travelled, home or away and of course, the results. Here is the latest (abreviated) table:-
