For the record, when Doveton went up to div 2 the seniors lost only turned over a couple of players, won 6 games ( I think) and were very competitive all year. Last year there was a couple more move on with retirement and to play a higher standard. A group of the seniors travelled overseas and missed the year and we lost 2 or 3 more to serious injury. Div 2 exposed a lack of depth as a result.
This year we get a few back from injury and a few back from travelling. No shame in that.
The club enquired about staying up in div 2 to remove the bye but the league squashed it. The playing group would have been the same in either division.
Nothing wrong with what happened to doveton the top half of div 2 is so far about div 3 it's a joke.... Losing players or not anyone would struggle...
