USA Season : 2019 (Rounds 1 to 4)

This competition is not getting proper coverage at the official site, but is getting it on a Wiki page entitled '2019 USARL Season' if you wish to follow it from there. Otherwise, yours truly will also be doing periodic updates although not as often as the Wiki one.

Here are the games so far. Blue shading is for the Northern Conference and yellow the Southern one. One game in round three was called off due to weather. I don't know whether (no pun intended) it will be replayed or points shared.

As for the standings, Up north, the Brooklyn Kings lead from the Boston 13s  and Delaware Black Foxes. At the other end of the table the White plains Wombats are yet to register a point despite being competitive in all matches.

Meanwhile in more southerly locations, The Jacksonville Axemen are well ahead as expected. As this division has byes and now a weather disruption, the number of games played is uneven. Some have only played twice after four rounds.

	3 – 4	Boston 13s	2	Doing OK
	3 – 4	Delaware Black Foxes	3	Surprisingly strong start

UK League One Attendances 2019 (Progress Report)

As of late June, 2019, attendances in the UK League One third division are starting to take on some meaning. There have been 60 games played, a total average of 650 per match. There are three less sides playing in the 2019 season and five down on 2017.

Newcastle continues to grow nicely and hopefully that will continue. Workington have benefited from a derby match, putting them second.  There are some interesting matches played in League One and new sides may join in 2020. If a team from Ottawa does join this division, it will lift attendances by some way until its promotion to the Championship. Bradford and York coming up did hit the average attendance.

The list will be updated every few months during the season. It covers the two previous seasons in full against the 2019 progress figures. Going to the UK Attendances label to the right of your screen will give all sorts of attendance data. Last updated 20.06.19
