Many of you will be aware of the announcement from the EAPL of their intention to form the EAPL Championship as a second tier of that competition. The Management Sub Committee (MSC) are concerned about the lack of consultation and information given to us, as well as the viability of the plans and the impact that they will have on participating clubs and the Two Counties Championship.
Two members of the MSC recently met with two members of the EAPL committee to discuss the proposed implementation but no substantial progress was made to allay our concerns or provide much further information.
We have written to the ECB to explain our thoughts and concerns and we await a reply. That letter was copied to officers of the other two feeder league committees to ascertain their views on the announcement. Since this notification we have received confirmation from the Chairman of the Cambridge and Hunts League that they too share our concerns.
The MSC will continue to work on behalf of all our member clubs and will inform you as soon as we have more information to provide.
