It appears a shame that despite having numbers for 2 grades Wallsend are dropping out. Come on Newcastle Football and Wallsend you can do better then that........
i think the problem is, with staying in ZL2 and fielding, 3 sides (and struggling for numbers) mainly made up with reggies and 3rds from Wallsend and Cardiff's ZL3 leftovers, the sides they would have put on the park would have been cannon fodder for everyone else in the comp.
Not sure why they were not allowed or didn't want to drop down to ZL3 for this season after nearly folding is one thing we might never know.
The powers NF, MF & HVF now need to bring a side who will be competitive and allow them to compete with only 2 grades if they cant get a 3rd grade.
