So, can someone please clarify. Am I understanding correct that we have opted not to put a team in the SL u19s, but we will be putting a team in the Championship u20s?

Is there an U20s? I thought this was scrapped?

That's what I'm trying to work out. I don't know why you'd opt not to field in SL unless there was a reason to play in the Champs (ie, if the age groups are different)

SL clubs decide to scrap U20 and U18 and replace with just one U19 team to save money. It appears championship teams will be U20s, but bizarly I am hearing that when Leigh, Fax, Keighley and one other play each other in the U20s league, they will be U23 games....WTF. The game is in a mess especially with the new 'twinning agreements'. What happens if those teams are drawn together in the CC for example.

The 19s were meant to be playing the other super league teams but due to the financial restraints on the club they were unable to have 20 players registered by deadline date thus getting no super league fixtures, I believe they are appealing this in January and are hoping to be reinstated, if not they will play championship teams, that's my understanding.
